I have very little FoxPro 6 experience.   I am writing a Dot Net 2.0 web app
that uses some FoxPro6 dbf tables.  It's my understanding that FoxPro tables
in themselves have very little buildin security.
My problem is that I and apparently all local users have no problem both

On my desktop, VFP 9.0 has a couple of eccentricities:
1. With the Command Window open, if I run a program from the command
window (e.g. DO myprog.prg), when that program terminates, I do not have
my cursor in the Command Window. IOW, if I start typing, nothing appears

When you use inlist() to search for a word in a memo field it works fine and
can find the word any place in the memo.
But when I used the inlist() to search for a word in a character field it
returns false if the word is not the first word in the field.

I have a table (in a database) and I have to edit it (thousands of records).
I am creating a new table to contain edited fields. But how do I copy the
General Field records to this new table? I use a VFP 8.

Hello and thanks in advance for the help.
This must be something that I've long forgotten if it exists at all...
Is there a function that you can call to see if you can open a table
EXCLUSIVELY?

After over 15 years of FoxPro and VFP programming, I learned something
about the scan statement that I didn't know and would like to share
with people.  Something that became a bug.
So here is some innocent-looking code.  Guess what it prints at the

One of my users comments that they want to be able to drag windows from my
application to a second monitor on the same computer.
Is there any way to easily set these properties at runtime?  The only way I
can think to do it is to create two copies of the same form where one

Are there any good webservers out there that support sessions for Visual
FoxPro tables and don't require one to pay a royalty fee but allow for a one
time purchase (as most ActiveX controls are that way also)?  Then, one may
build their own application around it and distribute it ...

I have use the '&' variable a couple of times to reference fields in a table
but how whould I use it to assign the following (I do not wish to use arrays):
a1 = 0.00
a2 = 0.00

I'm writing a Dot Net 2.0 web app that accesses FoxPro 6 dfb tables.
I have very little recent experience in ODBC or OLEDB, and no real 'feel'
for them.
If you were writing this app, which would you use and why?

I'm writing an app that must process downloads coming in via ftp. Since the
process must run continuously and we have no guarantee re the quality of the
incoming files, it seems that sooner or later a system lock up will occur. In
order to minimize the impact of this possibility ...

Wondered if anyone could help with this.
I'm getting this error message when trying to write back big chunks of data
to my MYSQL table.
I've using a remote view to send a large piece of data 'about 5MB' to the

How can I convert a database a free tables to SQL?
Thanks.

I want to set a filter on a table that only shows records that are locked
(by any user on the network). I thought this would be quite simple but when
I run my code through I only see the one record that I myself have
locked.....

x = Z:\ACI\PROJECTS\JOB01
How can I get a logical answer for if 'x' exisits?
Thank you,
