    - CALLING AN EXTERNAL FOXPRO DATABASE Dear programmer, I have not much knowledge of accessing external databases (in VFP7). It was easy in my local network. OPEN DATABASE \\localdatabase\stocksoft.dbc But can I call my foxpro database externaly Database : stocksoft.dbc location local : \\localdbf\ Router allow access from external IP (externalfirmname.dyndns.org) to (firmname.dns.org) on poort 1000 where both IP-addresses are dynamic. OPEN DATABASE http://firmname.dyndns.org:1000 \\localdatabase\stocksoft.dbc It would be to easy I think ! Can I use my foxpro database further or do I need a (more) advence database (VFP9,Oracle,SQL server) Thank you very much for taken time for me. Steven Tag: New Word breaks old DDE code

    - Azeri(Latin) Locale in How do I get the characters , , , (those with unicode > 255) in Azeri(Latin) in Visual Foxpro 7 or 9. Our software (developed in VFP7 & VFP9) cannot print or capture these characters well. We have a client who needs to use this locale but cannot because of this limitation. In fact even in the development environment the text editor does not translate them. Is there anything else I have got to do. Thanks.

    - how to direct the output of the report form object type 5 to a specific location. Yes, you will have to include at least the _ReportListener.vcx: the Project Manager should pull whatever you need in when you rebuild the EXE. Theoretically. :-) For the other question, I'm not sure: a quick dig through the FFC code doesn't show me. If you don't beat me to it, I'll trace through it later and figure out where it's set.

    - Know of any graphics libraries for VFP 6? You have DECLARE DLL in version6 for DLL writen 32-bit environement, and call it as any vfp function. If you need to acces 16-bit DLL you may call it using Foxtools.dll You also may call API'S: DECLARE INTEGER GetActiveWindow IN win32api MESSAGEBOX(STR(GetActiveWindow())) Tag: New Word breaks old DDE code

    - How to determine time elapsed between 2 DATETIME()'s Your question is a bit unclear.

    - Filtering records in grids The reason you're experiencing this problem is caused by so called grid reconstruction issue. I usually solve this problem using "safe selected" approach described by Andy Kramek in one of his blogs on foxite. The idea is to create a cursor in form's Load with all the fields for the grid and then construct the grid in design time. When you need to re-populate the grid, select records into the temp cursor, e.g. Code Snippet select * from myTable where myCondition into cursor curTemp nofilter zap in GridsCursor insert into GridsCursor select * from curTemp && for older versions you can use APPEND FROM dbf('curTemp') instead use in curTemp ---------------------------- This avoids grid reconstruction problem completely, though may slightly slow the process for the huge resultsets to insert. The other approach I don't use anymore, but some still like to use, is to set grid's recorsource to "" before doing the select, do the select, then re-set the recordsource.

    - do form and wait So you want a program that runs ahd at some point it stops to show a form, then waits until the form is closed to continue processing (with presumably some data gathered from the form) You could make the form Modal (1) *** main.prg *** * run whatever code DO FORM FormName | [NAME VarName [LINKED]] [WITH cParameterList ] [TO VarName ] [NOREAD] [NOSHOW] See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dv_foxhelp9/html/a727f12a-4d9f-45ca-aa01-c1bea7de9749.asp frame=true Tag: New Word breaks old DDE code

    - CONFIG in top-level application BTW, in VFP8 and VFP9 you can use SYS(2019) to determine Config file used in the application. It would not help much in VFP6, unfortunately. Tag: New Word breaks old DDE code

    - seeking in an IF Kadrin wrote: This is what I had in mind to an extend however, where would the expression go Here is what i have now: SELECT table1 SEEK lcName SELECT table2 APPEND FROM table1 SELECT table3 SEEK lcName SELECT table2 APPEND FROM table3 I need only to SEEK in table3 if the lcName wasn't found in table1. Your sample has problems: - You are using SEEK command instead of SEEK function and you are not checking to see if it indeed found lcName - You are appending all Table1 into Table2, not just the record you seeked. I don't think that is what you want. Code Snippet select Table1 if seek(lcName) * copy found record to memory scatter memvar * copy record to table2 select Table2 append from memvar else * not found in Table1 select Table3 if seek(lcName) * copy found record to memory scatter memvar * copy record to table3 select Table3 append from memvar else *not found in Table2 endif endif This should give you an idea.

    - how to escape from valid event You can provide a 'Reset' or 'Cancel' etc button and move the code from valid to lostfocus. ie: Code Snippet * Lostfocus if (this.Value < 20) nodefault this.SetFocus() MessageBox( "Value should be over 20") endif With this approach, unlike "valid" user can click on buttons or close the form even if the data entered is not 'valid'. Do validation on button code when necessary (and IMHO it's a little bad retrictive experience for users to have the validation per control with valid). Tag: New Word breaks old DDE code

    - Microsoft is going open-source the core portions of the Visual FoxPro DBMS! I'm hoping the author has an inside track to what's really going on. Let's let this article take on a life of it's own, regardless - it really does make a good story. Really what does MS have to loose I think they will gain more as far as peer respect and recognition if they really did open the actual core. Also, it would be a great experiment for them. If the core were opened some key things could happen: possibly a VFP.NET version/compiler, 64-bit VFP, support for future OSs, probably would run on Linux (is that a deal breaker - dosen't MS support .NET on Linux ). Minus the paranoia, I think this would really be a win-win for everybody... Tag: New Word breaks old DDE code

    - Expecting Advise on A Graphics Problem Hi Everybody, I've project, that I have to use a custom worldmap and show some other drawing according their coordinates.Now I managed to draw the worldmap with FORM.LINE method. To zoom in/out I have to scale the worldmap. When I scaled 10x or much more times I can see the part that is on the form. And the other parts of the worldmap which is extended out of the form is lost. Because the LINEs that are created with LINE method aren't objects, form doesn't show any scroll bars to scroll left/right/up/down. So I need some thing like a canvas so that I can draw anything on it. And even it is off view I can managed to scroll to the extended drawing parts. Any ideas KAYA,Tolga Tag: New Word breaks old DDE code

    - DotDotDot I've noticed when I use reportbehavior 90, fields must have a certain size, otherwhise VFP shortens them and adds DotDotDot at the end. I've also noticed that there is some padding to the required size. In other words its not easy to put 2 fields very close together on a report form. For ecample, if I want to put a date range on a report with a dash in between... I'm sure I'm doing something dumb here, and any input would be apreciated. Thanks. Tag: New Word breaks old DDE code

CDO for Windows 20000 and later is the best way to go. All you need is access to an SMTP server. The easiest way to configure CDO is to configure Outlook Express. You do not ever need to use it, but if you configure it to send e-mail, CDO has the registry entries it needs so that you do not need to configure it explicitly. Tag: New Word breaks old DDE code

A user of our legacy VFP 7 app is finding that the program blows up on the following DDE command being sent to Word 2003 SP2. Older versions of Word 2003 handle the command with no problem.

maxed=DDEExecute(ddehandle,"[If AppRestore()=0 Then AppRestore]")

Any idea where the last few living DDE experts hang out

DDE is too old to remember. I prefer automation with createobject and Word.Application instead of WordBasic. Maybe SP2 dropped wordbasic support

Yes. Our new SQL Server based product does exactly that. Our older generation product does not. Still in search of actual facts.

I have verified that the code does work on my own XP test box with Word 2003 SP2. So this is not a feature drop during a service pack. The customer had multiple newer computers exhibiting these symptoms while older computers still ran correctly.
