    What would be the fastest way to set up VPN?

    I am looking to allow remote users access to our network using VPN and PCAnywhere / Terminal Services. I am looking for the fastest and simplest way to do this, rather than the cheapest way, so if we need to spend money we will as long as it's not over the top. System: Netgear DG834G router /...

    Server validating user in the wrong database

    User myusername is not a valid user in the database not_the_database_I_am_connecting_to" Here's a frustrating one: I have a new webhost with SQL server 2000 running my database. I have always used a DTS package to backup the database to my local SQL 2000 using "copy objects and data" as I am...

    can 2.6 tables be buffered in VFP6?

    I am updating a very old 2.6 foxpro app by slowly migrating elements of the app into vfp6 - the thing is working great, but needs lots of new features and we can't afford to risk a full rewrite in one go. That's fine, but when I open one of the old tables and set buffering to 3 I can't seem to...

    App hangs on incorrect date entry

    Hi I have a textbox with a controlsource of a date field of a table. The format is set to 'D' (and it has been tried without this as well) The problem is that if you enter an invalid date then in the fox environment you get "invalid date, press space" but when the app is run on a...

    Optional feature not implemented

    Hi I have been testing and running a SQL server 2000 web application using stored procedures, and it is running a treat. However, now that the database and application is posted onto the web I get this error when executing a stored procedure with any parameters: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for...

    Using data from a row - laugh at new guy!

    Dunce's question ... Is there a SQL equivalent of the following steps which I would take using foxpro: If I wish to get a value from a row in a table and insert it into another table/manipulate it/update something etc. I would select the table and locate the record that I wished to look at...

    Create a Hexadecimal string

    This is going to sound daft, but I need to create a hexadecimal string from the identity column of my table. Essentially, this code will prefix a login name so needs to be short, but allow many values. Best we don't dwell on the details of this, just suffice to say that this needs to happen! So...

    Word 2002 foxpro connection string

    I have been using Fox6 automation to create a mailmerge wizard using my fox database into Word 2000. All was going swimmingly until I tried it on Word 2002 - d'oh! The connection seems to be different, as Word is using ODC (office data connection, I think). I have tried all sorts of permutations...

    ControlSource recordsource grief

    This is something which I have "avoided" [using homemade means] along time ago because it has wound me up, but it has come up again, and it needs sorting [evil] I have a table field which contains a numeric value which relates to a lookup table containing a related image and text...

    Run a word macro before printing

    Hi I have a set of macros that I need to run when the user presses the print button (stripping out superfluous text, validation etc.). Dull, but efective. I am struggling to get the event handlers to work though. I have created my class module and declared the object variable: Public...

    Perfect shutdown code?

    Hi I know it's boring, but I am still searching for the perfect shutdown code. I have read all the advice about where to place clear events etc. and all of that works a treat. However, if ever an error occurs and the user chooses to press the cancel button the exe stays in a state of flux...

    Outlook distribution list using global address book

    Hi I was contacted about setting up a distribution list in Outlook but using contacts from the global address book. I am assuming that they are using an Exchange server due to the global address book. They say that they can't see the address book to get the contacts from. Is this true, or do...

    Report fonts nightmare

    Hi I have a VFP6 distributed app with a veritable shedload of reports. So? Well, one of my clients has been using the app for about a year now without (much) complaint, until his system went belly up and he has had all of his computer reformatted and reinstalled (win98SE - printer HPlaserjet &...

    Hi, I don't wish to buck the trend, but I am trying to create a button which will print the entire frameset in one hit in internet explorer. I can successfully print an individual frame, but I would really like to know how to do the whole thing. Cheers Derren

    Printing is cropping my reports in an application

    I have written an app in VFP 6 which contains quite a few reports, some of which are landscape. I am having a real problem with getting the whole report to print. If I preview and print the report in design mode my report is printed in full, but if I print from my app, the right margin is...
