Hi, I have done something stupid and deleted 'SYSTEM' from the security list for the Global Address List. I now cant see it in the Exchange Management Console. I can see it in ADSI, but when I try to open Properties, I get the message 'an invalid directory pathname was passed'. Is there any...

Hi, I am completly new to SQL server and Client/Server technology and I am in the process of converting an Access frontend/backend database to so that the old Access backend runs on SQL 2000 with the frontend still in Access. I don't have any need for security, I just need a really quick and...

I have a table with a memo field in it, and records for editing are selected with a view. I have set 'Send SQL Updates', and buffering is on. The memo field is the only field that should be edited. Everything is set as per the help files, but the memo is not buffered, the changes are saved...

Hi Guys, Ramani, your solution seems to be the best. I can see the logic behind it, but when I try to run it, I get 'operator/operand type mismatch'. I have trawled through the help files, but cannot find any reference to using + in this context. Could you explain further? Thanks Pete

Hi, The subject line may sound strange, but I can't think of a better way to put it. I am writing an app for a school reports system. I have a table with the following fields: Name,Subject,Teacher,Report_text. Every child should have 14 different subject reports. I need to find a way to...

Hi, I have read all the threads on running the setup wizard, and distributing .exe, but I am still a bit confused about having live, development and distributed apps. Basically, I have Visual Studio installed on my PC at work and at home (yes, they are both licensed!) I have a removable D...

Thanks for all your help. Armed with all this advice and large amounts of coffee, I found the problem at 2:00am! Having followed the instructions in Microsoft's Visual Foxpro 6.0 Programmer's guide for compiling an application, I used shift OK in the options screen, and copied the results to...

Mike, The main form only has one very simple option group, and only 2 buttons are enabled (this is phase one of an ongoing development). One button sets a global variable and then loads another form, the other one exits. It is not a rights issue, this is running on my development workstation...

Hi Mike, That was a quick response! My main prog only sets a whole load of environment variables, loads the main form with DO FORM, does READ EVENTS and has a Procedure for shutdown. Pete

I hve just compiled my first project, and when I run the EXE, I get an error 'cannot open file', and my main form does not open. The exe runs ok from vfp, so I can't use the debugger to find out which file it can't open. I have both of the required .dll files in the WINNT/System32 folder, and...

Hi Dave, The dropdown list I was refering to is the one that appears in the property window when you edit the ControlSource, which is where I expected to find a list of available variables. Anyway, with a combination of your's and Ramani's tips I've got it sorted. I did not realise that I had...

Hi Ramani Thanks for the reply. This seems to make sense, but on trying it, I still have the same problem, no variables in the dropdown list. Pete PS Sorry about missing the subject line out!

Hi, This probably a very simple question, but I am new to VFP. How do you display variables on a form? I have a main form with an option group on it, and I want to display which option was selected on all subsequent forms. The value of the option group is stored in a variable, which is picking...

Hi all, I have been studying hard, and I think I am now getting to grips with VFP. However, I cannot find any info (that I can make sense of) on designing a 'backend/frontend' type application, like I used to do in Access. Basically, I want a single .exe that loads up all of the forms, queries...

Thanks for the replys guys. Like FoxEgg, I am buried in a pile of books and overpriced AppDevs. Jdemmer, I am trying to develop a DB app for 80 odd users. Access struggles when you get over 10 concurrent users. Anyway, I have 3 days to get the inputting side ready, so I am going to put a...

Help! I have been programming in Access for years and am now very proficient at it. However, I need to produce a package in Foxpro because Access is not man enough for the job. Does anyone know of a good text that will get me started? I thought that Foxpro would be similar to Access, just more...

Don't know if this has any relevance, but I had a similar problem with different hardware (Voodoo 2 16Mb). The PC would just freeze in games and on web sites with heavy flash content. Tried loads of fixes from MS, 3DFx etc. no joy. I upgraded to XP (clean install) and still had the problem. In...

I have 150 3 year old Tiny PCs, and the PSUs are starting to give up. The only information on them is MODEL: PTP-2028 Made In China. I could get generic replacements, but as we are a school with limited funds, I would like to be able to repair them (I am a qualified electronics engineer). Does...
