Re: Windows 10 and Append General

Update Thank you all for your comments/opinions or otherwise. My client has reversed the Win10 update and all is well again. i.e. same pc, same office, no change to my application. It simply fails to "append general", as in it skips this line in my code. So now I have time to apply a

Re: Windows 10 and Append General

In my case, I started with an invoice already in a PDF, as that's how I send them to clients. I'm a big fan of PDF for this purpose: they're not (easily) modified, the print pretty at the client's site regardless of their printers, and they make a professional appearance. Word, not so much.

Re: Windows 10 and Append General

Okay, Sytze, Alan says it works fine. Is it possible that you are trying to run 64-bit Office from within (always 32-bit) Visual FoxPro? That might cause a problem. On Wed, Jul 27, 2016 at 4:59 AM, Alan Bourke wrote: > I just tested this under Windows 10, VFP9 SP2 and a

Re: Windows 10 and Append General

That's how most do it! Storing those files outside of VFP DBF files actually improve security and ease of management. You can make use of the file sytsem's features to manage them. In the case of extreme security breaches, you could just relocate if not delete the file, instead of having to dig

Re: Can you work VFP into Win10?

COBOL is widely used in mainframe-based banking and insurance systems. It would NOT die. Nobody has the nerve to touch those written problems, as there will be legal consequences if not death altering them. Should we pray for a miracle for VFP? What if someone resurrect VFP and enhance it? :) On

Downsizing - old manuals anyone?

I'm in the middle of downsizing (painful!) so if there's anyone *in the UK* who is supporting 'heritage' systems I have available a full original set of manuals for VFP 3.0 pro and the main manuals for FPW 2.6 (also Netlib for Foxpro, but I can't see anyone wanting that!).

Yes, if you have the full path to the document file name you can use shellexecute to print it ... but you _might_ have to contend with a print dialog popping up -Original Message- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Sytze de Boer Sent: 26 July 2016 22:12
