While ComboBoxes are the preferred way to do it, you can still use the M format and a variable or property to set the .InputMask value. You should be able to change the value of choices by just resetting the .InputMask to a constant, variable or property. from some method on your form: thisform.

There are no functions that return a position relative to the index. If there aren't too many records, you may be able to SELECT RECNO() FROM table ORDER BY your_order INTO ARRAY , then search the array for the RECNO() you want. The found index into the array will be your relative position.

Re: Funny Font

While in the VFP IDE, make sure the Menu bar is active (for me, it's click in the Command Window, then click on the menu bar). Then while holding shift, choose the Format menu. You should see a "Screen Font..." choice. I believe that's stored in the registry, not the resource file, but I'm not 1

Re: Problem with set filter

Do you have an index on the "active" field? if you did, then a GO TOP with no filter would always take you to the first record where active=.F. even if it's not the first physical record. Fred On Tue, Dec 6, 2011 at 2:30 PM, Michael Savage wrote: > I want to set a filter to a logical field. T

Re: Tracing a program to a file in fpd26

I don't remember exactly, but wasn't there a SET HISTORY ON, SET HISTORY TO filename commands in FPD? I don't remember ever using these commands, just that they existed, so YMMV on their usefulness. Fred On Wed, Dec 7, 2011 at 10:50 AM, Jerry Foote wrote: > I need to do this in DOS > Jerry >

Re: Tracing a program to a file in fpd26

Scratch the SET HISTORY suggestion. Looks like it was SET HISTORY TO #of lines of history you could recall for the old pre-command window days. Fred On Wed, Dec 7, 2011 at 10:50 AM, Jerry Foote wrote: > I need to do this in DOS > Jerry > > -Original Message- > From: profox-boun...@lea

Re: VFP and multithreading

I agree, separate apps are usually much easier to deal with. I have a client that has a FPDOS app that sends data to a VFP app that uses automation to generate Excel and Word docs, PDF them, and then another VFP app that will email those docs through GMail. Fred On Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 6:04 AM,

Re: Craig Boyd's CRC using the 32-bit option

If it's truly a 10 digit number, it may just be an unsigned 4 byte integer. As long as the value doesn't exceed 4,294,967,295 that's all it is. However, VFP stores signed integers, so yes, you would have to store it as a N(10). Fred On Wed, Dec 21, 2011 at 2:43 PM, MB Software Solutions, LLC

Re: Craig Boyd's CRC using the 32-bit option

You could also store it as a float (f) or double (b) CREATE CURSOR xyz (bignum f) CREATE CURSOR xyz (bignum b) CREATE CURSOR xyz (bignum n(10)) Fred On Wed, Dec 21, 2011 at 2:43 PM, MB Software Solutions, LLC < mbsoftwaresoluti...@mbsoftwaresolutions.com> wrote: > On 12/21/2011 4:21 PM, Ed Le
