>I have a legacy program originally written in Fox 2.5 then moved into 2.6 (only the explicit dos calls changed and forms adjusted to be useable.) The department uses the program to enter payroll time for about 25 people. They have moved from Win 3.x to NT 4x. I have bumped into the divide by zero error and have installed the MS patch. I still get an "I/O operation error."

>The company is planning a global payroll program in the near future and will replace the current program used by this department. I don't want to spend a lot of time on the program so I have attempted simply compiling the code in VFP5. This seems to at least hide the I/O error but the screens are designed using ASCII characters and looks best viewed in FoxFont.

>Finally the question: How do I force VFP5 to use FoxFont while compiling the old 2.6 code?

>Thanks

put _screen.fontname="FoxFont" in your program before screen output happens.
