If possible, it's probably easier to create a view and base it on that. -skelly

Has anyone upgraded from OpenLinux 2.3 to the latest (eDesktop) version? Are there pros/cons to do this? Just wondering. Thanks - skelly<br>

Oops, sorry - I meant create *remote* views to it.

You'd have to create a connection to it as an ODBC data source, then create remove views to it.<br><br>skelly

I played with FoxWord when the links were still warm (*s*) a couple years back - looked OK but not as good as I wanted at the time... it was quite a while ago. That's probably why the idea kind of died though - reports didn't translate cleanly between output and .RTF formats.<br><br>Crystal...

I'm not sure of the ODBC SQL syntax, but you could do something like: SELECT... WHERE LEN(TRIM(EXIT_STATUS)) = 0<br><br>-skelly<br>

This is just a shot in the dark, but I believe when you do a REPORT ... TO FILE it saves it in whatever format the default FoxPro printer is set to - David's is set to a PostScript printer, so it saves as PostScript and is therefore readable by Word - yours saves as PCL (Laserjet default?) so it...

There is a windows emulator for Linux, called WINE. You can read about it in, among other places, <A HREF="http://www.winehq.com" TARGET="_new">www.winehq.com</A>, but note that work on it is ongoing. From what I understand, people have had varying degrees of success with it... I've never tried...

Well, there are a couple of ways. One way is you could create a global variable - this is the easiest way, but it's an Object-Oriented no-no. A better way is to store custom properties on the form(s). The only thing there is that you have to know - or find out - that the other form is really...

No, actually it is &quot;FoxPro Window Font&quot;, if chr(179) is supposed to be a pipe character - &quot;FoxFont&quot; is the old DOS FoxPro font that was meant to mimic DOS for Windows, but using this shows a different character than a pipe for chr(179). Take a look at both and use whichever...

You probably want to specify &quot;FoxPro Window Font&quot; as your default font. It should be included with all FPW/VFP distributions, I think. -SK

Following the same thought as above, you could also do:<br><br>select field1, left(field2, len(field2)), field3 from table1<br>copy to mytextfile <br><br>or<br><br>select field1, left(field2, len(alltrim(field2))), field3 from table1<br>copy to mytextfile<br><br>-SK

Thanks, that did it. I knew it was something simple!<br><br>SK

I'm sure I've done this before, but I'll be damned if I can remember how... I need to have a scrollable but read-only text field. If I use an edit box and disable it you can't scroll - but otherwise, how do I prevent editing? I've tried putting a RETURN .F. and RETURN 0 in the keypress and...

Thanks all, I'll take your advice - especially KDE! -SK

I'm currently trying to move an application from VFP5 to VFP6. Since I had no problems with the app on my laptop I (stupidly) assumed it would be the same at the installed location. Wrong. Whenever I try to load a form (DO FORM) it runs the UNLOAD script of the form first! I've verified this by...

Hmm... well one possible way is to setup a generic printer in your Windows setup. Go into &quot;Add Printer&quot; and select &quot;Generic&quot; printers, then &quot;Text Only&quot; as the type. Set this as your default printer in FoxPro. Then run the report as before - it should put only...

I'm using Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 with Netscape 4.72 (just upgraded from 4.7 which also does it) and I'm having really slow response time. I get a lot of &quot;stalled&quot; messages during downloads, and pages take about twice as long in general to load. Doesn't seem to disconnect very much, but...

You have to use REPORT FORM xxxx TO FILE xxxx ASCII - without the ASCII clause it includes PCL codes, etc. for the current Windows printer. <br><br>SK<br>

Even if you don't have the source code, you should be able to create (or edit) the CONFIG.FPW file (or CONFIG.FP if it's DOS) to add CENTURY=ON. -Shawn
