    Frustrated with our VFP program under Vista

    Thanks again all of you for the valuable input. I followed Doug's suggestion with ShellExecute and the Vista users now get the UAC prompt to Allow/Disallow. Great. I spent much of the morning following your links to much of the VFP<->Vista relationship. There's a lot to consider, not only in...

    Frustrated with our VFP program under Vista

    Thanks Doug for the valuable input and link. A star for sure. I will be trying this change this morning and will let you all know the results. Any job worth doing is worth doing right!

    Frustrated with our VFP program under Vista

    We've been tearing our hair out over this one. Because we are a VFP9 shop, I hope that this is the appropriate forum for posting this one, even though the problem is only with clients running Vista. Our distributed multi-user package has an Auto-Update feature that allows downloading and/or...

    Open Outlook Minimized or Maximized ?

    Thanks Pamela ... I tried putting it before the DISPLAY, but that generated an error. However, putting it after the display worked OK to minimize it. I would prefer to actually open it minimized to avoid repainting the screen, but I will have to play with that... Quick question for you ... is...

    Open Outlook Minimized or Maximized ?

    For our email communication, We open MS-Outlook with the following code: &&--------------------------------------- PUBLIC loOutlook as Object, loNameSpace as Object, loFolder as Object loOutlook = CREATEOBJECT("Outlook.Application") loNameSpace = loOutlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI") loFolder =...

    What sequence when clicking Windows &quot;X&quot; to quit ?

    Could somebody please let me know exactly what happens when you click the upper-right Windows "X" box to quit the top-level EXE, as opposed to clicking the VFP-form button defined as the CANCEL button. I have a situation with the main EXE able to load forms (modal and/or modeless) and/or EXEs...

    Is there any way to do this with 2 FRXs ?

    Thanks Tamar for the reply, but ... Your 1st suggestion re scan would result in too many executions of a REPORT FORM... during a print run. A typical printjob may be a secretary printing calendars for several Users and expects the full printjob to be sorted / grouped by User + Month as in the...

    Is there any way to do this with 2 FRXs ?

    I forgot to mention ... I know I can get around this by having a combined FRX with all items from both existing FRXs, and use PRINT WHENs to determine printability of each item, but I was trying to avoid that...

    Is there any way to do this with 2 FRXs ?

    I have implemented a set of daily / weekly / monthly Calendar reports to our Calendar system that we are incorporating into our main system. These 3 reports are the same style as the daily / weekly / monthly Calendar reports from MS-Outlook Calendar (including the upper-right displays of...

    Thanks Mike ... I'll give it a try ... this may be what I need. Roy

    Can you make an undocked toolbar NOT closable?

    I have designed and implemented a VFP toolbar into a test system, including a popup on one of the button pairs (as in the VFP ... Samples...Sedona\newtbars.vcx). Everything appears to work well both docked and undocked, except I have one concern. I don't want this toolbar to be able to be...

    I need help determining string length in pixels

    Thanks Mike (and everyone else) for the input ... it works perfectly now.

    I need help determining string length in pixels

    More on this ... found after incorporating into my app. It is still workable, but with a little modification. TXTWIDTH() actually returns the number of characters "of average size" for that particular string based on the Font used. I had to use FONTMETRIC(6,"MS SANS SERIF",9) to get the...

    I need help determining string length in pixels

    Thanks Boris ... that works great. I remember trying this before in an older version of VFP, but it wasn't always accurate. It seemed to take some average sizing for a variable-pitch font, but I now get accurate sizing in VFP9.

    I need help determining string length in pixels

    Can anybody help me with this one. On a standard form, I have a label that I dynamically change & refresh the .Caption value depending on some selected criteria from a multi-selection grid. The .Caption value will be a comma-delimited character string of abbreviated codes - typically 2-3...

    Need help with BUILD EXE or Build Method

    Thanks anyway Jim, but that will work in a ,PRG that is executed from the VFP command prompt, but it generates the "Feature not available" message if executed from within a standalone EXE (as compiled from a VFP PJX).

    Need help with BUILD EXE or Build Method

    I am refining an in-house Source Control system that I designed and have used in our development department for a few years now. I am adding a method to the main form that will extract the PJX names that use any SCXs, PRGs, VCXs, etc. that have been revised since the last recompile of any...
