    VFP print Word doc with certain position of data field

    Thanks Olaf, [thumbsup2] I decided to make a report as you suggested, probably will height of Header band be involved into calculation of each vertical position, I'll check later with printer. In meantime I made a form that list all objects "of type 8" into form's listbox with their main...

    VFP print Word doc with certain position of data field

    Yes, I planned to use scanned paper form as temporary template, just to align all fields that will be printed, and second before printing I would cut this template (picture) and only fields would be printed on paper form, right on precise positions (V & H)... but it's not allowed to print...

    VFP print Word doc with certain position of data field

    It's me, again, I gave up from using Word & Mailing merge & Excel as one of possible solution for precise printing; I used Textboxes from Word (with mailmerge fields inside), due to their abilities to be positioned anywhere on page, but measuring object's position on upper part of page and in...

    VFP print Word doc with certain position of data field

    Dear friends, in meantime I tried to solve described problem. Shortly, it's a small app for printing form with student's grades. I scanned form and put in the CorelDraw, just to check are all fields aligned properly, and is there vertical difference among them. Sadly, I saw that not all grade...

    VFP print Word doc with certain position of data field

    Hi Olaf, thank you for your fast response. Maybe I wasn't unclear with my question. I need printing on special brochure that's already printed and looks like some kind of money check, just with more places where I need to put proper field data (name, lastname, amount...) but they aren't in same...

    VFP print Word doc with certain position of data field

    Hi there, I have already forms printed in press-room (instead blank, plain paper) which I need to print out with data field on correct certain position (height from top, left, different font). Size of printed form is classic A4 (297x210 mm). I tried to solve it inside VFP 9 report but it was...

    Rotated label in Grid header

    Dear colleagues, thanks you for your valuable inputs. Even hardly I must agree with some of you that wanted grid is "weird" a little in daily VFP application, but I made already huge Excel table with macro support and numerous columns with rotated caption (headers). As I don't have ability to...

    Rotated label in Grid header

    Thanks Olaf, I thought based on article about multiple label in header I saw years ago in the book about "1001 tricks with VFP" that it's possible to put label into column header and rotate. Shame, it's not possible, I would like it is possible like in Excel I saw... :( Thanks anyway Olaf. :)...

    Rotated label in Grid header

    Greetings Sirs, I use VFP9 and need a grid with many columns (mostly are single number) but in headers I need custom caption based on rotated label in order to keep columns width equal to 25. I think I saw somewhere how to put textbox into some column but I can't remember I saw that someone had...

    What encoding shall be applied VFP9 & MySQL & PHP in order to get right chars on the screen?

    Olaf, Vhad... thank you for your valuable inputs. I presume that some "line of equal" shall exist but in many articles I have read that for non-English language UTF-8 coding information in database is the best way to avoid later any trouble. So I did it. I'll try to make stuff according to your...

    What encoding shall be applied VFP9 & MySQL & PHP in order to get right chars on the screen?

    Hi Vince, thanks you stopped by, I tried later but no improvements. I tried to add option charset=utf-8 in connection string but then VFP crashed itself and I gave up. I think to make some custom function for two ways search 'nd replacement but looks like huge job without any promises. Funny...

    Today I successfully installed MySQL 3.51.30 on local computer running Win7/32bit and codepage windows-1250, where is Apache 2, MySQL 5.5.12 and PHP 5.4 and VFP9.

    Remote acces to MySQL on web server with VFP9

So, I concluded that ODBC is OK and working, just...

    Hi Olaf, hi Mike, In meantime I tried to uninstall ODBC driver and to replace it with better. I used Add/Remove option, then I checked presence of MySQL in Registry, then I shutdown PC, wait few minute and then I installed again 3.51.12, a version with VFP worked months ago remotely without...
