FoxPro  FoxPro 2.6
I have a customer Master with Code & Name Fields. While entering data through Input screen I will type customer name and the program will go on filtering the name of the customer from the Master Data File and when I press Enter Key it will select the exact record from the master with Code. If there is any program in foxpro 2.6 kindly mail me at rajesh.ranjan@modernajyoti

Delete command

Hi Experts

Could you point how to programatically force a grid to present the first row content?

After a grid line deletion it presents the last line content at the top of the grid, obligating to click in the cursor top advance arrow to get the first line in top position.

Thanks in advance.

I have a foxpro v9 memo field and i want to update that in oracle table blob field
Below sample code

--Open foxpro table
lcAlias = Sample.dbf
Use Sample.dbf

-- read memo field
lcBin = &lcAlias..blobdata

--convert to Blob
pcBin =  CAST(lcBin as Blob)

--Connect oracle
odb = sqlstringconnect("Driver={Oracle in OraClient11g_home1};Dbq=XXXXX;")
lcSQLString = "UPDATE oracletable SET m_blob = " + pcBin + " where id = 1;"
lresult=sqlexec(odb, lcSQLString, "Result")
IF lresult>0 THEN
   messagebox("yes")
ELSE
  *-- Collect error info
  AERROR(laErr)
  *-- Display error info on the screen
  DISPLAY MEMORY LIKE laErr
  *-- or save the error info into text file
  LIST MEMORY LIKE laErr TO FILE SQLError.txt
ENDIF
=SQLDisconnect(odb)

Am getting below error message - might be becoz i didnt pass the single quotes for pcBin
[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-00972: identifier is too long

If i put quotes for pcBin, foxpro prg hang at sqlexec
lcSQLString = "UPDATE oracletable SET m_blob = '"+ pcBin +"' where id = 1;"
lresult=sqlexec(odb, lcSQLString, "Result")

Tried below code, then also it freeze
lcBin = &lcAlias..blobdata
CURSORSETPROP("MapBinary",.T.,0)
lcSQLString = "UPDATE oracletable SET m_blob = '"+ lcBin +"' where id = 1;"
lresult=sqlexec(odb, lcSQLString, "Result")

Hi Experts

Could you point what's needed to run a vfpcompression.fll under Windows 8?

I downloaded a fresh new vfpcompression.fll

Tryed to register it like it is a .dll (no success)

It used to run perfectly under Win7.

A similar issue is occuring with vfpencryption71.fll too...

Any workaround ?
Thanks in advance

I know very little about Foxpro (9), but I can get around in it and understand the basic principles.
All I need is to export a database to a CSV file then set that up on task scheduler (to run every night) with an .exe or .bat.
I would need as much detail as possible, but I'll understand it quickly.
No form is needed - just simple export statements, but as I understand it, they have to be run inside FoxPro.

Could you point a VFP code to quit an Excel instance that could be trapped in PC before to start an Excel automation process to generate a sheet?

During an Excel automation sometimes a variety of errors occurs  I guess due an Excel instance to be oppened  even it's not visible- only with "task manager". If it's manually closed, things go easier. The worst, sometimes a sheet file couldn't be eliminated because it's trapped by Excel and an Excel instance doesn't even appear at "Task Manager"...

Very cahotic things occur also... a date column from nothing changes the mask from dd/mm/yyyy  to mm/dd/yyyy  in a  column from a line to the subsequent (?!)

I'm really reconsidering the use of Excel automation from VFP. It seens errors dificult to deal appears.

Thanks in advance.

I have built a program to insert data into a number of Word documents.  The insertion points are identified with bookmarks.  Most of the bookmarks are related to Word text fields or empty areas in the document.  The data values are inserted as text with statements like this:

                        oDocument.Bookmarks.Item(cBookmarkName).Range.Text = "TextValue"

However, on one form some of the entry fields are defined as Word checkboxes.  The statement above doesn't work because Word checkboxes apparently won't accept text strings.  I've also tried inserting 0 and 1, as well as variations of "true", such as .t., <true>.  Is there some other value and/or property that can be used to mark a Word checkbox as true from a VFP program?

How do I import data from the Horizontal grid into a visual FoxPro table?  The Horizontal grid view is attached below as well as the prg. code.  Some of the Horizontal grid cfld fields contain group data.  The cfld fields should not contain a lot of data, for example, each cfld field contains the item#, qnty, and description.  There should be a cfld for date, quantities, and descriptions.

The Horizontal grid should look like this below inorder to match the fields in the Ldy2 table:
Cfld1 is date field
cfld2 is a qnty field that should be named Blktamtin
cfld3 is description field that should be named Blankets
cfld4 is another qnty field that should be named shptamtin
cfld5 is another description field that should be named Flat Sheets
cfld6 is another qnty field that should be name shtbtamtin
cfld7 is another description field that should be name Fit Sheets
cfld8 is another qnty field that should be name sprdamtin
cfld9 is another description field that should be name Spreads
cfld10 is another qnty field that should be name btamtin
cfld11 is another description field that should be name Bath Towels
cfld12 is another qnty field that should be name bstamtin
cfld13 is another description field that should be name Bea Shop Towels
cfld14 is another qnty field that should be name pcmatin
cfld15 is another description field that should be name Pillow Cases
cfld16 is another qnty field that should be name wcamtin
cfld17 is another description field that should be …
