Hi Vince, Like Paul said, you need to use a column type that will support binary data. If I have a chance, I'll try a quick test on my system here and let you know what I find. Richard Kaye ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription

RE: VFP9 dockable

2009-06-01 Thread Richard Kaye
Hi Al, Not that I've found. Dockable seems to imply always on top. I like to keep the property sheet, data session and document view docked in the same frame as well as the command window on my second monitor. I usually have the debug window, when open, on monitor #2 also. Richard Kaye

RE: VFP9 dockable

2009-06-01 Thread Richard Kaye
When I run into that situation, I turn off docking. For example, I access my office system remotely via LogMeIn, which works great, but I don't have dual displays at home. I prefer to use a file comparison tool for comparing code instead of modi comm windows. Richard Kaye

If you don't want SQL Server to translate your non-ASCII chars, which in the case of storing binary files would be true, you'll definitely want to use ntext. Richard Kaye - This message has been checked for viruses before sending

Have you ever been working on prototyping some code in a prg and want to debug it? But if you haven't actually saved a file on disk, you can't set breakpoints (at least at a specific line of code). However, if you develop with ASSERTS ON, you can drop an ASSERT .f. in before the line of code

How about something in the AfterRowColChange method to detect the deleted state and put in the appropriate movement? If the user clicks on the deleted record, the record pointer gets moved to the next row (assuming there is one). rk -Original Message- From:

If goShipping.States is an array property, yes. (SELECT INTO... ARRAY goes back a ways...) If it's a collection, you would want to use a scan..endscan loop to populate it from your lookup table. rk -Original Message- From: profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com

I believe you can store anything you want in a collection object including other collections. There is an example in the New in VFP 8 book that populates a collection object with states... rk -Original Message- From: profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com [mailto:profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com]
