Re: Question about determining when record not showing after filter applied

You have to move the record pointer to get the filter to "kick in". You might try SKIP 1 IN yourtable and SKIP -1 IN your table and see if you come back to the same record # you started at. Fred On Mon, May 8, 2017 at 1:39 PM, wrote: > VFP9SP2 > > After applying a filter to a grid cursor, I wa

Sure looks like you can load larger than 16MB. Though the help file does say a 16MB limit on memory variables. Fred On Wed, Apr 26, 2017 at 11:44 AM, < mbsoftwaresoluti...@mbsoftwaresolutions.com> wrote: > On 2017-04-26 12:31, Brant E. Layton wrote: > >> Just a reminder - STRTOFILE and FILETOST

+1 on the Acer 15"" Chromebook. Bought one (new $179) for my wife to use on the road (she's a mobile dental hygienist) to remote desktop into the company server. She absolutely loves the battery life (10-12 hrs) and the "instant on" that;s it's available as soon as she opens the lid. No problem

It seems that at normal 100% font size, the limit for Grid.Height is minimum 20. So the 58 is less than 3.5 * 20 (70) ? Fred On Mon, Feb 27, 2017 at 11:10 AM, Tracy Pearson wrote: > Hello, > > I have run in to an odd error. > > I have a common grid. It has been placed on a pageframe class. It

Re: Grid - Height : Expression evaluated to an illegal value

Maybe the size of the font used in the header object is too large when the size of the grid is 58 high? Fred On Mon, Feb 27, 2017 at 11:10 AM, Tracy Pearson wrote: > Hello, > > I have run in to an odd error. > > I have a common grid. It has been placed on a pageframe class. It is used > only in
