I use the VFP5 Report facility to output from my application. So that I can programatically set font, orientation, etc, I copy the created FRX and FRT files to a standard TEMP.FRX/FRT using
cNewRpt = "TEMPRPT.*"
cOldRpt = cReport + ".*"
COPY FILE (cOldRpt) TO (cNewRpt)
For most part this works, however, the 'width' column seems to end up with strange values when I copy a landscape mode report. All 'objtype' values of 6 (this is for a line) change to a value of 100100, even though they were originally various other values, such as 104.167, 25104.167 and 12604.167.
In the past, I have checked for these values and changed them to what they should be, but can anyone tell me why it is happening and how to stop it from happening?
