I usually use Access but I have recently had to create a FoxPro database. It seems much more complicated than Access. I know some Visual Basic and SQL but I can't seem to figure out how to do the things I want to do with the form. I also can't find any good books on it. I found one by Que but it was so obtuse - I didn't find it useful and returned it to the store. Generally when I want to do something, I look it up, and then follow the instructions for doing it. But I can't seem to find any really good resources on FoxPro.
I need my form to create a new record by creating a duplicate of the previous record. I also want to be able to enter some values as default values at the beginning of creating a batch. I need to create a field that is made up of the date and the time - but I don't want the value to change for each record. It would be one of the values created with the default values when a batch is created. I also need to write a macro with an export routine.
I am used to doing everything myself. I certainly don't expect anyone to email me the magic answer to any of these questions. But I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. I can't even find a simple book that explains the different parts of the programming environment to me. I am used to assigning bits of programming to events and I see the events listed in the properties for form controls but get a bit lost when I try to work with them. I can't seem to find any good reference material.
