Hello all, thanks in advance for the help....
I've been using Fox for many years but I've never used DATABASES. The apps
I'm running come from 2.x DOS days. All the DOS code is long gone now so I
think its time to make the jump. I'm sure I've asked these questions here

I have an application that has been running for a while. It contains a
number of different imports that bring in data from Excel sheets. The data
is fairly simple 2 to 10 columns of data with one record in each row. It
works fine if the data is saved from Excel 97 or Excel 2003, ...

I notice the memberdata editor won't write string above a certain length
into the _memberdata property. I can type them in fairly easily, however, in
the property sheet... so I'm wondering ... since there is an implied length
limitation are there any gotcha's attached to entering ...

I have a Windows XP user running a FoxPro 26 application using FOXW2600.ESL
on the network. She was able to run the application fine until recently.
Now she gets the error message which says "The Win 16 subsystem has
insufficient resources to continue running" and she can no longer ...

I'm pretty sure there's an API for this. Can anybody what it is (or what
they are) and share it here on how to use it?
TIA,
Willianto

I installed VFP 7.0 on a XP pro machine. For some reason I cannot get
any tool bar to come up.  I go into View / ToolBars and each and every
tool bar is unchecked. I check them - nothing.  The check mark does
not stay in place. It is gone the next time I go to View / Toolbars

Today when I opened my application in design mode, two labels on the
splash screen were "strange".
One was left-aligned, while normally it is centered. The second one
has completely disappeared.

How can I stop text from wrapping horizontally in an edit box?

What is the maximum length of a string a variable will hold in VFP?
Is version 8 and 9 the same?

I store my tables in one dbc and views in another.
I have created a view from one of my tables, and have now realised that I need to add some more field to the table.
I remember reading of a warning that if I don't do it correctly the view will go ga-ga and I won't be able to ...

This is kind of OT, but I'm upgrading/maintaining a legacy vfp system which
makes use of source files that are scattered throughout a large file server
and which may be further hidden by the fact that they are kept in .zip files.
(The existing sys actually unzips them prior to ...

I'm trying to update to SP2, and it's asking for a folder/file named
<x>\vfp9setup\vfpprod1\vs_setup.msi, where <x> is the location of the
sp2 self-extracting exe.
Shouldn't the exe have extracted this folder and file? It doesn't exist

This is an annoyance more than a problem....
I have a grid that is used for display only....I have
Grid.AllowCellSelection set OFF and Grid.HighlightStyle set to 2 to give the
impression to the user that the grid is readonly.
