• pfear Line Drawing in Report

  I want to draw a triangle in report. Three points of the triangle will vary based on the values I specify. The triangle should be printed in a normal foxpro report. If it is not possible to do this in VFP, kindly let me know where it can be done. Thanks. What version of FoxPro do you have It's possible with version 9.

• chunkylover37 Organizing project files

  I'm trying to clean up unused files. Over the years my.pjt has piled up about 400/800 files of all sorts (.prg, .scx, .vcx, .mnx, .bak, .ini, .xml, .vbr, .err, .dbf, .fpt., .txt, etc.): located in 10 directories ... which is just cluttering up those directories. Is there any suggestable (lazy) way to re-organize and/or clean up (discard old unused files) or copy out only the my.pjt vital files (other than excluded report files, help files, and picture files). Thanks in advance, Thanks again, David, for your thoughtful feedback, That'll seem to help keep My.Pjt clean before dissecting out obsolete files; I'll have to test it though for 'included' vs. 'excluded' files and such. Thanks again for your invaluable feedback. The eas ...Show All
