Display & list to the screen

Am new to this - first part of msg disappeared after edit - trying again.

< xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 

Display or listing a dbf to the screen produces a wrap when it should all be on 1 line.

The dbf consists of 6 char fields for a total of 76 characters. Arial 10pt.

I am using a 19 " screen so there are gobs of room.

VFox 8 doesn't recognize the screen size Have noticed this in older versions as well.

    Courier spells relief, makes the display nice & tidy.
    Thank you CetinBasoz.

    Shouldn't be. What are the values of _screen.font and _screen.fontsize Are they what you think they are

    What command are you using
    LIST OFF (or LIST OFF <field_list>)

  • mjd918

    _screen.fontname='Courier'
    With fonts like Arial an awkward spacing between fields is used.

    thank you Alex,
    _Screen.FontName=Arial
    _Screen.FontSize=10
    5 fields total width=76 char (all character data)
    display=1280x1024
    -list & list off both produce the same result ie. line wraping.
    -in the properties-desktop(layout) height is shown as 924 and width is shown as 1280. (I assume 924 due to bars at top & bottom)

    The browse command works great but I don't always want to use it.
    Vfoxpro 5 was the same, confusing when trying to read the records.
    It's a mystery.
