I am working on this small Utility/Project for one of our clients - which will be used at a Warehouse. Almost ALL user interactions will be done via a BarCode scanner. They will be scanning UCC barcodes on boxes - and then the UPC barcodes for the contents within the boxes.
A strange problem I am having is with the Focus. There will be just this one Text box on the screen (where the user interactivity will occur) - which must always receive the focus - so that the scanned codes will automatically get inserted into this Text box. The problem is that when I run the screen by itself in VFP (v7) - or even if I have VFP compile the EXE (just a small program that calls the screen) and run it within VFP - I don't have the problem. However, if I run the EXE outside of VFP - or run it on my buddy's PC here (he will be the one doing the Install for the client) - when the screen starts up - the Focus is NOT on that TextBox! So - I can't even properly debug the problem from within VFP by stepping thru the code - since the Focus is not a problem when I am in VFP! I even included a SetFocus command for the TextBox within the Activate Method of the Form - but, that still does NOT solve the problem! I'm getting a little frustrated as to why this is happening - especially since this program has to run in a Warehouse - and has to be made essentially "Fool Proof"!
