Which version of Visual FoxPro?

That error came up under VFP3 but I suppose it can still come up in current versions as well.

 

by: CarlWarnerPosted on 2003-03-04 at 16:11:26ID: 8068383

Sorry.  More clarification needed.

Is this the runtime version only or the development version or both?

Is a COM DLL involved in your app?

 

by: ah7386Posted on 2003-03-05 at 03:24:56ID: 8070881

Firstly ask yourself if you are using any active-x controls in your app, such as MS Common controls for open/save dialogue boxes etc? Are you using progress bars, rich text boxes etc?

Thanks,
I am not very familiar with FoxPro but I'll see if I can get you the info needed.
I am trying to port an existing application onto a new server.
The errors are in the runtime environment.
App was built with VFP5.
I don't know enough to confirm what DLLs the app is using.
Is there an easy way to find a list of referenced DLLs or OCXs?

Look in your project file for that app.

MODIFY PROJECT <<MyApp>.pjx

There should be a complete list of all the pieces of the app in there for that "project".

It will give you a better idea of what the whole app is doing, but also quite possibly show the external pieces required to make it all run.

Try checking the forms .SCX file @ Record number 12.

USE <File>.SCX

GO 12

Will point to object that needs to be registered/installed.

Good Luck!

If the form with the error is called "Form1" then go to the command window and type "use form1.scx"
then type browse
go to the line where it said the error occurred (I think you said it was 7)
scroll across to the ole2 field.
double click the field
It will give you the name of the ole application that is causing problems.

If you are using any object of other applications in your FoxPro, like Word, Excel ... you must have installed such applications before run your Foxpro Application

I implemented the following function in a FoxPro program:

FUNCTION SyncTime
      sGDrivePath = UNCpath("G:")
      sServerName = LEFT(sGDrivePath,ATC("\",sGDrivePath,3))
      sServerName = LEFT(sServerName,len(sServerName)-1)
      lcCmd = GETENV("ComSpec") + " /C NET TIME "+ sServerName+" /SET /YES"
            
      loShell = CREATEOBJECT("wscript.shell")
      loShell.Run(lcCmd, 0, .t.)
RETURN .T.

The function is included in the valid event of a combo box. It works fine on operating systems like Win'2K and Win'XP. However, I got the following errors when the same function is called and executed in Win'95 and Win'98:

a) OLE error code 0x80040154: Class not registered
b) Class definition WSCRIPT.SHELL is not found
c) Object LOSHELL is not found

Can somebody assist to advice me on what can I do to resolve the errors that I am encountering in Win'95 and Win'98 ? Thank you in advance then.
