I am stuck with a scenario i.e. I need to apply some validation checks and
data processing on remote machine. Let me explain my case with some example.
As an example:
At client end: I need to know current price of an item from FoxPro table.

When a table contains a column that is a reserved word you can't do
something like the following:
    UPDATE FooBar SET Desc="Bar" WHERE RECNO()=1234
I understand why but does anyone know if there is a work around to this?

Has VFP always done this? I thought FLOCK allowed read-only access to other
users but another user can't even open the table if there's an FLOCK in
place. I don't remember hitting this in previous versions of VFP.

Do I need to use an Win32 API?

I am using VFP 8.0 and created one Multi Threaded Dll, which will be used
remotely. While registering it @ client end. It gives me following error
messages.
Error-1st : Resource File Version Mismatch.

I am having a very strange problem with VFP.  I have a form with 5 text
fields and 5 captions.
Everything was working fine. I added a 6th textfield and a 6th caption
called TEXT6 and LABEL6.  Now, when I run my program, about half the time,

I'm trying to find a way to programmically read some data that is saved in
thousands of PDF files.   They are basically spreadsheets all the same row /
columns.
Anybody know of a third party tool I can use from Visual Foxpro to read

I haven't used DLL in VFP long time ago. To remember, I created a simple
code and compiled it as DLL. Then registered it using Regsvr32. From VFP, I
use:
o=CreateObject("MyDll"), but I get an error saying DLL not found.

could it be that when I want to print a report
that there must be a table open ?
I just want to print the content of some variables.

I am having difficulty in using the datetime picker control from
Microsoft.
How can I 'bind' this control to a date field in a table?
Am I supposed to have an 'invisble' textbox which gets the date value

Hello and thanks in advance for the help.
I am having one of those problems which goes away when you try to observe
it.
I have a shared messaging application in which the data can be updated by

Using vfp9-Sometimes (not always) If I write a simple program usually for
changing info in tables, I can keep rerunning the program, then all of a
sudden it won't run and says source out of date.  This doesn't happen if I
run the same .prg in vfp8.

I have an application used for many users, as usual they can delete some
records. The problem is that the records are marked as deleted but
physically they are still there.
Now I have a sql command

been a long time since I was in this App where the reports are of the
hard coded @SAY style...
This program produces statements, maybe a hundred at a pass, while
printing the color seems to change.

Is there any way to do alternating shading (eg. alternating white and gray)
for each detail line in a VFP report for better readability?
Thanks
