  i would like to Embed a report into a form… Is this possible If so how Thanks Sammy Not quite sure what you mean here. A report is either printed, run to file, or run to preview.

• Stormblade MSComctlLib.TreeCtrl.2 BackColor ???

  MSComctlLib.TreeCtrl.2 does not have BackColor property. Is it possible to define one (it is of course possible) and actually make it functionable Thanks.

• obixena Cursor help

  Hi    I am new to foxpro and have a question reguarding cursors. I am using VFP 9.0. I am working with a local VFP data base.

I also understand if it uses the hard drive for temporary files that they will be deleted when t ...Show All

• Shams Zia Report Form noreset

  I have a series of reports to chain together in a FOR loop. For simplicity, I tried to issue a single REPORT FORM with a NORESET. The first time I run the report in the app, the first page of the report is 1. If I run the same report again, the first page is not 1. It will not revert to 1 again until I exit VFP and re-run the app. I am using the ReportListener. The RL object is created on each report run, and released a ...Show All
