Prompted by the "demise" of VFP my customer has decided to convert all their existing apps, and commence all new development in Java. I don't know anything about Java, so they're looking for someone who does. My question is pretty general and pretty vague: what comes to mind when thinking of...

With no changes to the app the user is getting error code -6 when trying to create a PDF. This error is described in the xfrx user's guide as "xfrxlib.fll cannot be loaded (it is missing or invalid)". In fact the .fll is neither missing nor invalid (it works fine on my computer). We're...

A German user of my VFP9 app gets the following two error messages at program launch: Falche Version der Ressourcendatel Visual FoxPro cannot start. Could not load resources. I haven't seen this before. Any ideas? Thanks!!! Jim

Some old code I inherited: usefile = (ADDBS(SYS(2023))) + "register" USE IN (usefile) deletefile = (ADDBS(SYS(2023))) + "register.*" ERASE &deletefile On the ERASE command I get error #3, "File is in use." I can't figure this out. Any ideas? Thanks! Jim

I have a report that consists mainly of images. Everything looks fine in the report designer but when I preview the report it issues 4 consecutive "Open" windows as if it can't find some of the images. If I just cancel out of the windows the report then runs and looks fine. Also if I render...

I have a report (VFP9) which contains an image (actually 12 of them) whose actual content is set at run time depending on what language the user chooses to run the report in. So, for example, if the language is Japanese the image is japan01.tif; if Korean it's korea01.tif, etc. The "Control...

I'm designing a report that will display an image (jpeg). The image actually used will be a function of the language the app is being run in. So there are about 15 possible images that could be displayed in the designated spot on the report. What's the best way to handle this? (VFP9) (In...

I'm having trouble getting the Dynamics tab of the report writer to work. I have a text box that I'd like to show up in bold when a certain condition is met. I name the condition "range1", and for "Apply when condition is true" I've inserted .T. (for testing). I change "Font" from "Ariel, 8...

How can I print a textbox vertically in a VFP9 report? Thanks!! Jim

Using GETDIR() the user selects a destination folder in which to back up his data. What's the simplest way for me to check if he has permission to write to this folder? Jim

An existing app of mine (VFP9) uses FoxPro's _olecalendar control. It's been working fine, except now under Windows 7 the user gets a "Class not registered" error. What to do? Thanks! Jim

I have the following code: SELECT tskhist =AFIELDS(tskarray) GO TOP CREATE CURSOR tskcursor FROM ARRAY tskarray SELECT tskcursor APPEND FROM tskhist FOR NOT DELETED() I'm getting error #1 "File tskhist does not exist" on the APPEND FROM statement. I can't figure out how this can happen. Any...

I've asked this question before. From within an app (Help/About....) I need to be able to display the date that the exe was built. From previous suggestions I've tried FDATE() and ADIR() but they show modification date rather than create date. Seems like it should be trivial, but I don't see...

Is it possible from within a VFP9 app (post-installation) to alter the read/write permissions of a directory? Thanks! Jim

I have an application wherein the data tables reside in a sub-folder called "Data". The customer would like a feature added to allow the user to move this sub-folder and its contents (they're all DBF's and CDX's) to an unspecified location of his choice at runtime. Other requirements: 1. The...

We're using XFRX to produce reports as PDF's. It works great, except that some of our graphics (.bmp's) on some reports either don't show up at all, or are distorted in the PDF version. PRINT PREVIEW and PRINT are fine. This is VFP9. Any ideas? Thanks! Jim

I have a table with a date field that may be legitimately be empty. Is there a (free) calendar control that can handle such a field as its control source? The control must also allow the user to "blank out" an existing date in the field. This is VFP9. Thanks!!! Jim

A certain group of users need to be denied access to Page 4 of a certain pageframe. Right now the app accomplishes this by having the page disabled for these users. The new plan is to leave the page enabled, but (somehow) block access while displaying an explanatory message. Since a Page...

I'm calling a form, and in so doing, the record pointer is being moved, inappropriately. To try and see what's going on I've put the statement ?RECNO() immediately before the DO FORM and also as the first statement of the form's LOAD. The record pointer somehow changes before the LOAD. What...

I have a label with AUTOSIZE = .T. which can be assigned many different captions at runtime. How can I determine the width of the label after assigning a new caption? The WIDTH property doesn't seem to change. Thanks in advance. Jim
