Convert Memos dialog box.

[MrSatan]

Hi All,

By using Visual FoxPro 6.0 to open a dBaseIV table which contains the memo fields, a Convert Memos dialog box will pop up to prompt "Convert MEMO file to Visual FoxPro format?...", by pressing the Yes button, another dialog box will pop up to prompt "Remove dBASE 'soft' carriage returns from memos?..."

Is there a way to suppress all these pop up dialogs and default the prompting to "Yes"...?

Thanks in advance.

I think you want to use the SET COMPATIBLE Command

Try:
SET COMPATIBLE DB4 NOPROMPT

There are other options, check out the help if this fails you...

Thank you for your help Brian,

In fact, the command you suggested did knock down the first dialog box. I still try to kill the second (last) one "Remove dBASE 'soft' carriage returns from memos?..."

Any more suggestion will be much appreciated...

Thanks.

In a COPY of your table try:

repl all MyMemo with STRTRAN(MyMemo,CHR(141)+CHR(10), chr(13))


This assumes than CHR(141)+CHR(10) is a soft return, which I'm not sure of...
