    Grid - control source being ignored.

    my form has the default data session (current not private?).. The main.prg opens the table, calls the form then tidies up the table. Crude but simple ;-)

    Grid - control source being ignored.

    The recordsource is set at design time. The table is used before the form is invoked. There's no reference to the grid in any of the form' load/init/show/activate/refresh/gotfocus. After dblclick on a row there is setfocus and refresh but the problem shows before that so that's not relevant...

    Grid - control source being ignored.

    Thank you all for your suggestions. I have checked and found there was nothing in the grid.recordsource. Filled that in (i just put the alias?) and it blanked all the column.controlsources. Put them back - didn't fix the problem. All columns show identical non default properties apart from...

    Grid - control source being ignored.

    I have a table with 4 columns and a grid showing the first 3 columns. I specified the control source in columns 1,2, and 3. this has been in use for years. I've added a fifth field to the table and a fourth column in the grid with the control source defined for the new field 5 It now shows 4...

    Excel formula to count occurrences of a value in a different sheet

    This will shock the purists but I have learned to do things the easy way. Add a column with =if(isblank(a99),0,1) in every cell and sum the column. Just because a function exists doesn't mean you have to use it.

    append from tab delimited - intersting effect (or bug)

    Thank you all. I have made my own importer (fgets and at(chr9),..) but for the record:- APPEND FROM ? type DELIMITED WITH tab &&.tsv X"Y <tab> "A"B APPEND FROM ? type delim && .csv "X"Y <comma> "A"B APPEND FROM ? DELIMITED WITH _ WITH...

    append from tab delimited - intersting effect (or bug)

    Wow! Thanks guys. I'll enjoy reading all above slowly. I wrote my own importer with fgets and unpacking anything up to at(chr(09),...) The data comes from a non technical person who maintains a calendar in Google Sheets (because it's available and shared and our club can't afford to buy a...

    append from tab delimited - intersting effect (or bug)

    Using append from myfile delimited with tab I have found that if a cell contains "X"Y I get two fields filled with "X" then Y this moves all subsequent fields right by one with sad side effects. I don't suppose there's a fix for this and I've written my own unpack so this is just a 'be aware'...

    inetctls - Still executing last request

    Thanks Chriss, Apart from the last line what you say is a bit over my head at the moment. I only have VFP as my basic tool and invoking some of the things you mention is beyond my knowledge level,. I'll brush up on error handling.

    inetctls - Still executing last request

    Thanks Scott. Yes I'm getting a lot of dropouts on all my devices and my IP provider is not being helpful so I want to gather some evidence. I planned to run my monitor program for say 24 hours unattended and log the ups and downs.

    inetctls - Still executing last request

    Is there anything new about this.? I want to monitor my router's performance so want to leave my code running unattended for some time. I just repeatedly get a url = connected (or false or null = not connected) and it mostly works but I get a halt occasionally with 'Still executing last...

    thread184-216111 19 years on and that did just what I wanted - after I fixed the 'deliberate' typo. lnResult = ShellExecute(lnWhnd, 'OPEN', lcLink, '', '', 5) Note double quotes. Bill Spence, Dunfermline, Scotland

    How can I make a window wider?

    I provide html code which is 'plugged into a web site over which I have no control. It shows the results of my code in a "window" or "box" which is centered on the screen and too narrow for my needs. You can see my problem here (Styling :width=130% is giving me a wider right margin - click to...

    Accordion - Anchors in panels causing problems

    Feherke, Once again thank you - should have spotted that myself. I have not got a formatting or syntax checking tool for html - I just use Notepad as my editor - do you know of a (free) tool which would have found any unclosed tags? You were quite correct in your expectation - I had intended...

    Accordion - Anchors in panels causing problems

    I have been using an accordion for some time very successfully. But the panels contained nothing but text and now I have to allow for active elements (anchors ) in the panels. Problem is that when a panel closes it's anchors stay active so you can't see them but you can click on them (and also...
