I use VFP9. I select the cursor with data for my detail band before running the command REPORT FORM reportname PREVIEW. I do not specify reportbehavior, so I assume it is using 90. I also tried changing it to 80 mode and had the same result. The report has a title, detail and summary band.
I use the native print dialog. I have rewritten the code for the report so that a simple cursor holds the data for the detail band. I select that cursor before running the report.
I have a report with a header, footer and detail band that works fine to print or to preview. However, when someone clicks on the printer icon for Print Preview it starts counting down to print numerous pages. I have stopped it at a few hundred. If I set step on and go through the code it will...
I have a grid on a form which contains fields from a single cursor. The users are used to vertical textboxes where the navigation would basically go down a column. Now the navigation stays on the same row (when pressing ENTER), moving horizontally. Is there a simple way to change this, or is it...
Thanks for the feedback. I have had the problem intermittently working both remotely and working directly on the server. The problem prevents testing because it stems from my search screen, so I have trouble navigating to other screens with an applicable record to test. I have temporarily...
I am currently working remotely. I have code that has been in use for a very long time and has worked fine. Both machines are using Windows 10. I have narrowed down my problem to a form refresh. I have a Search button, go to another form and do the search returning a docket number, then refresh...
I have been given two weeks while performing my regular duties to do this probject with no background at all in SQL Server. I think I now have an idea of how to start and will ask if they want garbage or data which I will need time to do correctly. Thanks for your help and suggestions.
We are trying to convert some of our data into SQL server. Most of our data is in free tables. We have tried using the VFP upsizing wizard but had database compatibility issues, worked with Toad SQL and tried importing in SQL Server Management Studio. Is anyone who has does this successfully...
I have finally upgraded my work computer to Windows 10. I just installed VFP 9.0 and it seems to be working okay except for help. The help file location is set to the location of my dv_foxhelp.chm file and it will search for help and show topics, but the Diplay button doesn't display anything...
That's a great point. I never thought of it because they are so used to everything being on their old printed form I'm not sure they could adjust. We have just weaned them from circling relevant items on a paper list and using a calculator. It is definitely food for thought.
Thank you for your explanations. I realized that the value of the field had not been changed yet. Since the field is logical, I knew the new value would be opposite of the current value since they were assigned only true or false. Buffering and rolling back would have worked and the suggestion...
Olaf's explanation makes sense, so maybe I need to find another way to accomplish my task. I have a table of court costs. On my form it splits these into three cursors and adds a logical field so that I can show three grids with check boxes so they can check which ones apply. I split them into...
I have code in a checkbox (in a grid) in the interactive change method. It validates the data, but is not in Validate because I want it to happen as soon as they click in the checkbox. The value of the checkbox control source, a logical cursor field, may be changed from true to false in the...
Thanks so much for your response. Somehow my VCT file was added to Other Files in addition to Classes in the project manager. I removed it from other files, rebuilt everything and it now runs. I found this after creating a completely new project including dozens of forms and reports. I don't...
My program which has been working for years froze up the running versions and won't load the new version. The error says the VCT is missing or invalid. The path it shows for the class isn't even in the users' mappings and never has been. They are running an EXE on another drive, which shouldn't...
FOUND IT! Thanks for all your help. Somebody updated some of shortcuts to start the program differently. I don't understand exactly why it made a difference, but it did. They're all back working now.
The values are not exactly the same. For the ones where it works as I want it to it has a drive letter Ex: s:\shareddrive.....
On the ones where it doesn't work properly it has the correct path, but no drive letter Ex: \\shareddrive...
I'm sure this is the problem, but don't know what to do...
The file name is empty in the Save File dialog box only on some computers. The computers should be identical, all Windows 7. They were all upgraded at the same time, so probably bought and installed at the same time by the same person. I have tried it myself on different computers with the same...
