    FoxPro button status

    Is there a way in FP (and maybe VFP) to test the status of a push button, that is to return whether a button is ENABLED or DISABLED?

    Google prevents me from accessing my profile

    partner.googleadservice.com has been freezing my computer for years and I have been UNABLE to find a way to prevent it. I even started a thread (http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1755445) for help, but nothing has changed since then. Now I need to change some things in my profile on...

    Position is off the screen

    I have a strange problem that is driving me nuts. The program has been working well for years and continues to work well. However, if I rebuild the APP, one of the screens called by the APP throws a "Position is off the screen." error EVEN IF NO CHANGES ARE MADE TO THE SCREEN. When I compare...

    googleadservices bug

    How do I block or remove "partners.googleadservices.com" from webpages that I am viewing? Is it possible to block them from downloading anything onto my computer? Any page that contains a link to that site FREEZES my computer forever with 100% CPU usage. I even tested it once. 48 hours later...

    Firefox endless loop

    I clicked the update button in my FF browser to update FF. A later version of FF started downloading. Now, ONE WEEK later FF is STILL downloading! I have tried to stop the download, but to no avail. There is no cancel button of any type that will stop the download. Closing the download...

    Pattern problem.

    I notice that this forum has been dead for almost a year. Today I was thinking (yeah, I know, DANGEROUS) about a simple test that could be given to prospective coders to determine how well they can visualize and code on the fly. The following is what I think would separate real coders from the...

    Solving numeric keypad woes.

    Recently while using FoxPro, my numeric keypad quit working. All keys on the main keyboard, including the number keys, continued working as normal while using FoxPro. The thing that drove me crazy for two days is that the keypad would work normally in all programs EXCEPT FOXPRO. In FP, the...

    Trying to understand complex CSS selectors

    First, I am new to CSS, so any links and/or explanations must be simple for simple-minded people like me. I have searched W3C, and although they do explain class selectors, they do not come close to answering my questions. So far, I have not found anyplace else that does. In the code below...

    Deleting RECALLed records.

    I RECALLed the deleted records in table #1 in error. Now I want to DELETE those records and am at a loss at how to structure the DELETE. Within table #1 there is no commonality distinguishing the valid records from the invalid records. However, every invalid record in table #1 has a part...

    Extracting text from PDFs.

    I have searched the forum list and have not found the correct forum for the problem I am having. Are there any forums for PDF? Or Excel? I can't find any in the forum list. I am getting about 5 PDF files per month containing tables with about 3500 rows that I need to port to Excel, but I have...

    Parsing a target path.

    I recently networked two Macs together and can now access and change any file on either machine from either machine. But so far I have not found a way for FP to find the files on the other machine. I believe I know that I must use a path form something like <target machine name><target machine...

    Javascript not working in FF

    For some reason Javascript is not working. I have verified that Javascript is turned on in Tools > Options > Content. Is there any other location in FF that controls whether JS is on or off? Or is this a Windows issue? If so, where do I look? Until recently everything worked fine. I have...

    Safari on Leopard crashing

    I have been running Safari on Leopard for years without a problem. Suddenly last night it started crashing. It crashes anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes after connecting to the internet. It does not matter which website I am on. It even crashes if I am on a blank page. Mac OS and other...

    Excell file not opening

    [&nbsp;] Friday we were using an Excel file on a G3 MAC OS 9.2 and everything was working fine just as it had worked for years. Today, I double-clicked on the file to open it as I usually do and all that happened is that Excel loaded, but the file did not load. I spent an hour trying various...

    Conditional statements

    [&nbsp;] I have the following bit of cut & pasted code I am using. It works well. However to my way of thinking it is convoluted. Is there a better way of doing this? IF ALLTRIM(m.tablename) $ z ELSE DELETE TAG ALL z = z + ALLTRIM(m.tablename) + ',' ENDIF I know that I could do...

    It's two feet high.

    [&nbsp;] Yesterday I got a call from Andy (fake name to protect the poor dude) that went something like this. This is only part of the conversation that went on for about 15 minutes or so. Me: Transmission Supply. How may I help you? Andy: Can I speak with the owner or manager please? Me: For...
