Backlink Issue w/Form&Proj NOT re:DBC
by Kurt Wendt 24 Mar '25

24 Mar '25

Hey there Folks, I'm back again - now working at the new job at Pako here in OH. Was here several days - head back down DEEP in the VFP world (Nothing - and I mean NOTHING Runs Like the Fox!) - and suddenly yesterday I got a bad issue. I've never seen the issue before. It's actually stopping me from running the system on my local C: drive dev environment - which I WAS Able to do up until yesterday afternoon. I'm really Stumped on this one. I did research on the web, and then searching the ProFox Archives. But, it seems ALL References to a problem with a Backlink Error and resolutions here on ProFox (and even on other Web searches) was in regards to DBC & DBF files - and NOT with regards to Project and Form files! The error spit out by the system is as such: An Unexpected Program Error has Occurred... x Error number: 0 Error message: Error loading file - record number 6. LOGIN <or one of its members>. Loading form or the data environment : Cannot resolve backlink Line number of error: 116 ‘Command with error: DO FORM common\forms\Logon2.scx Program with error: START I've tried SO Many things. Pulling the Logon2 screen back out, deleting from Disk, then dropping another copy into same location, Rebuilding Project file, and even doing the Recompile All Files in the Build Options - but, Nothing seems to work! So, I'm really Stuck. And, Of course, I surely do NOT want to be running the Live system, as I don't want to be touching Live data - thus why everything is copied down to my C: Drive. Will also note, I can double click on that Logon screen within the project - and even edit the screen. But, upon trying to compile and run the system - that's when things go Totally FUBAR! Ugh... Any help would be Greatly appreciated. -Kurt --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

ProFox List & UGLY Encoding...
by Kurt Wendt 24 Mar '25

24 Mar '25

OK - not sure if this message will get sent properly - or if it will instead be coded in Alien Speak again. I find it odd that the 1st couple of my messages to this forum - via my work email - were just Fine. Then, suddenly - it's all coming across as Alien Speak. I think it has to do with me switching to the newer Outlook version - which I think occurred on this past Fri. As such, I'm trying to figure out what settings in Outlook I should change - in order to rectumfy the problem. For this particular message - I did try - by making sure this was a pure Text message with no formatting. But, that setting was done specifically for this email. I figured there Must be some kind of Global setting I need to make, so all emails to ProFox list going out San Alien Speak... -Kurt

VFP file association issues
by Joe Yoder 10 Feb '25

10 Feb '25

I had an installation of Windows 10 without VFP. In order to easily open .DBF and .PRG I configured Windows to open them with Notepad. When I installed VFP I assumed the configuration would be updated. When the installation completed I discovered that clicking .DBF and ,PRG files still opened Notepad. With coaching from CoPilot I eventually got the file types associated with VFP. The issue now is that clicking a .PRG attempts to run the code rather than opening it for editing. When a .DBF is clicked VFP errors out because it can't find the .CDX. In both cases the default is set to C: rather than the folder where the .DBF and .CDX are located. CoPilot encouraged a Repair so I ran that. It completed without error and Version() shows that the Service Packs and Hot Fixes are still in effect . The bad news is - the behavior has not changed. Any Counsel? Thanks in advance, Joe --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---
