Hi... I'm attempting to integrate the Foxfire report writer with a CodeMine application by calling it from the menu. I would like FoxFire to run and then return control to CodeMine afterwards.

The FoxFire documentation states that there needs to be a startup program, something like:

* Program Openff.prg
* LK 12/28/00
* This program starts FoxFire on the network directory.
*
PRIVATE lcOldDef
lcOldDef = SYS(5) + CURD()
SET DEFAULT TO K:\PTRACKER\FOXFIRE
DO FFSTART
SET DEFAULT TO &lcOldDef

This seems to be kind of messy. It might be the case that the whole CM application should quit, before starting up FoxFire.


Two issues:

1. The FFSTART is actually a call to ffstart.exe. The project manager attempts to compile this into the project, when I try to build the app. I can choose "ignore" on the build, and it appears to correctly call FoxFire, however, if I try to do a preview the preview window never shows up. FF is running within the CodeMine window.

2. How does the running of this affect the datamanager and the statemanager?


Thanks!


Best wishes,
