Trying to use VFP 7 under Windows 7 to update an app. Problems! VFP doesn't load intellisense any more so many of my shortcuts just don't work a RUN command (specifically RUN "EXAMDIFF.EXE") just generates an error Both are fine on my XP notebooks. Is there a solution please?

This form has a 3 page pageframe; each page containing a grid. The pageup/down keys move between pages. Keypreview =.t. The users want to be able to select part of a grid field and copy the selected text to another field (on the same page). In development mode this works prefectly well - ie...

I mostly work on a small notebook so debug environment is set to Foxpro frame. On starting VFP and setting breakpoints, the trace and watch windows are the size and position I make them, and initally behave as expected. But after a while (and a few errors - I'm a poor typist) the watch window...

I have a grid with an edit box (showing data from another table) that pops up over the grid when a particular condition is met. The users would like to be able to drag the edit box around, to uncover whatever part of the grid it is on top of. I've tried following examples in Foxpro and...

Using LIST or DISPLAY OFF to check data in a table when working interactively, there is always an empty line at the start of the listing. How does one avoid the space, so that the listing follows immediately after whatever was printed before the LIST command was given?

This app reads from and backs up data files to a USB thumb drive. The problem is that the USB drive is used with several machines and its allocated drive letter varies. How can I determine the USB's current drive letter? (VFP7 and XP)

I have a grid with a command button in column 5, The button caption is 'PDF' and clicking it opens a file whose name is in field DBFNAME of the open DBF. What is wanted is for the button's caption to be grey if field DBFNAME is empty or blue if that field contains a filename. I've tried...

I've been asked to add a 'view PDF' option to our Tissue Typing app. . The user has two monitors, with the main application running on one. What is wanted is - double-click on a record in a grid and have a linked PDF displayed on the other monitor. Is this do-able ? If so, how please

This app runs on desktops and notebooks of various brands and a variety of screen sizes. It has several screens with 'wait windows', positioned just below related fields. These appear only when certain criteria are met; the relevant code is in the objects' valids. The problem is that when...

This is part of a security maintenance function which works by restoring a list of people from a MEM file into a cursor which the section head can edit. Clicking 'Save & Exit' from the form with the editable cursor (in a grid) copies the cursor data to an array, which is then saved to the...

Trying to sort out why setting a 'file has changed maker' is unpredictable in this app. (VFP7, XP) The files are standalone DBFs and changes may be made in either single record forms or grids. There are too many fields for simple 'if this val <> oldval()' and I've been using getfldstate...

part of this app includes forms that pop up on top of a base form which displays patient details in its top third and options below that. That form is centred. The popup forms should each display covering the lower options part of the base form, leaving the patient data visible above. I mostly...

This app includes a form with a pageframe with three overlapping pages, each with a grid displaying up to 9 columns. Pressing pgUp / PgDn displays the previous or next page - as expected, but there are two problems 1 Moving foward from P1 to P2 or P2 to P3 - the record pointer stays on the...

Don't know what I did, but there is now an unwanted 'desktop properties' window which always re-appears after I save the form or PRG I've been modifying, and unless specifically closed, stays on top of the app when it's run. This is a fairly recent development and I've not found a setting to...

I need the equivalent of 'set near on' for a listbox using incremental search (VFP7). I.e. for a list of several hundred names, if the user types S and there are no names beginning with S the highlight should move to the nearest name, instead of staying in its existing position as it now does...
