• RetroFire newKey() method not found

  I have visited this ng before with great success always getting comprehensive explanations. I started about 3 months ago and was active for about 2-3 weeks. I then switched to C#, C++ and SQL Server and I found the atmosphere in those groups much less hospitable than here. You guys are great.

I tried to find an answer to a question I have (among others) but it does not seem to shed any light on it--the question is rather specific. I tried to play with some ActiveX controls that can be found in Tools-->Options-Controls menu but some of the most interesting ones I could not even d ...Show All

• Xavier Diab Call EXE problem

• Eusebio Perez Cancel Button Does not work--A known bug?

  I have no idea if it is a known bug. The important fact for me is that it is a bug. It occurs in _VFP.StartMode = 4 as well as in interactive session (_VFP.StartMode = 0). It caused me to lose numerous error records before I realized what was going on. In exe environment when one error follows another there is no way to quit because the Cancel button does not do what it is supposed to be doing. You crush the system and no records are saved of ...Show All

  Does any body have experiences to call a store procedure in MS. SQL Server with Foxpro V8 command Thanks Alex, another good site for connection strings is http://www.connectionstrings.com/ Robbo. If you need to pass parameters to the stored procedure, then you need to pass them in the call. The trick is, of course, to ensure that they are formatted correctly for SQL Server to understand.
