• Victor BA VFP - Word Integration - Updating Existing Word Macros

  I have been updating our word integration as we port our application from fp2.6 to visual foxpro.

• Peter Cheesewright convert text files to certain format

  Hi there, I would like to convert the text file to a text file but with "" and ; to separate the data. How could I do that Pls advice whether foxpro itself can do that or need to convert it to dbf in order to get the format. Need urgent help. Thanks. If it is in a DBF you can copy to text like this: COPY TO myfile.txt DELIMITED WITH ["] WITH CHARACTER [;] If it is in text format already, you can use STRTRAN () but it would depend on its current format. You can also use low level functions ( FOPEN (), etc.) For example, you could convert a standard comma-delimited file (CSV) to semicolon separatos like this: e.g.: "1234","abc","xyz" strtofile(strtran(filetostr("c: ...Show All

• newbieneedshelp How to remove redundant phrase in field?

  Hi all........ I have a table field that contains things such as..... V DISCONTINUED W/O REPLACEMENT; V DISCONTINUED W/O REPLACEMENT -I&S MASTER; 7 SUB 2610-139-3704; I&S MASTER; 7 SUB FOR 2610-139-3704 What I need to do is remove the duplicate phrases, leaving only one instance of each phrase in the field. The amount of phrases in the field varies...could be 2 as shown above or there could be 6. I suspect that the 'common denominator' is the semi-colon, but everything I've tried has failed. Any help is greatly appreciated! I have proven my code with your example and I have obtained: Hello CDFAUX Thought this worked for me, but here's what I got: Th ...Show All

• Matt Olson System resolution

  Hi. How can I find out what the system resolution is, and how can I change it via FoxPro Thanks Misiacik7 wrote: Hi. How can I find out what the system resolution is, and how can I change it via FoxPro Changing what the user has set up on his machine is a very bad idea. Instead, you should make your forms resizable depending on the screen resolution which you can find using the SYSMETRIC() function.

• Faraz_Ahmed Emailing newly converted reports.

  Hi; I have converted some older Foxpro reports to VFP9. Everything looks great, but: Before the conversion I could very easily save the report to file and then email it. After the conversion, obviously, I can't do that anymore. I have tried the ASCII option but it is not very good with spacing and columns don't line up etc. What is the best way to solve this issue Do I need to create a pdf/rtf/tif etc or is there a built in VFP feature that can help me Thank you all.

• Joannes Vermorel - MSP One to many query of one to many tables.

  Hi; Please forgive me if this is such a basic question: I have 2 tables: Orders and OrdersDetail. I need to have a form with 2 grids where the top one shows the orders and the bottom the detail of the order. Both need to show info for a specific customer_id. I am not sure what is the best way to produce this - using a sql command, creating a parameterized view or something else I am not aware of I know that a filter is out of question. Thx. Check out the SOLUTIONS.APP that ships with Visual FoxPro. You will find an example form, with source code in the "CONTROLS" section that shows a One-Many-Many form that shows a Customer/Order Header/Order Detail using navigation ...Show All

• Yones Clip art suitable for VFP 9

  Hello -- I am just starting out with 9 (have done just a little in 7 before). I am going systematically, creating classes now. The first problem I came across was where to get (free, preferably) graphics files (.bmp mainly) that would be fit for menu buttons and the like (e.g. the exit symbol, a man running towards/though a door). I do not think the .bmp files in VFP9 are enough. I know, this is a simplistic question, but it is important to me. Thanks in advance for your help.

• Danny Jr VFP Certification Reg.

  Hi, I'm working in foxpro for more than 10 years. But most of the time I's working with the DOS version( till 2002). Now I'm learning VFP... I started with 6.0 and now I'm working with 9.0. I'm interested in doing some certifications. Please guide me in this regard. Please let me know the certifications and the formalities to go through. Thanks in advance, Regards, Markish. R As Alex said, MS doesn't offer certifications anymore for VFP, however there are a few other places where you can go to get a cert (although not as reputable as MS) - one that I know of is www.BrainBench.com - They don't, however, offer one for 9.0 to my knowledge. I think the latest VFP (and probably the only one) is 6.0. Anyway - whe ...Show All

• Juergen Lorenz Preventing key strokes to be passed to control

  Hi, I have a form that needs to read data from a bar code reader. The bar code reader connects to the keyboard plug and functions like a keyboard. So what I would like to do is to have the user click a "Barcode Read" button and then scan all the bar codes he needs to scan and then click a "Done" Button. I was going to intercept the barcode data in the forms "Keypress" event and store it in a table. Problem is that I have so far found no way to stop the keypress data to be passed to the current control. As each set of data is terminated by a CR each time a barcode is read you jump to the next control and when you get to one of the buttons <CR> just clicks that button. So what I need is to intercept the ...Show All
