>Does anyone know how to remove the binary files from a fox pro form? I am upgrading and all of the font positions are wrong. A consultant told me it was from the binarys needing to be rebuilt? Does anyone know what that means.
A form (a visual form) is contained in a specially formatted DBF that has an SCX extension. All the information about that form, like where controls are located and what font they use is contained in memo fields. The form's memo file has an SCT extension. You cannot remove the binary information or you'll lose information. *Perhaps* your consultant meant the form needed to be recompiled, which you can do by:
COMPILE FORM myForm
However, I'm dubious of this suggestion.
Since
fonts don't have
position do you mean that the fonts are wrong? Or that the font sizes are wrong? Or that the controls are in the wrong position (left and top properties)? By wrong, do you mean that the values you see in the properties sheet do not correspond to their actually positions at runtime?
Finally, what what version of VFP are you using (including service pack)? Is there a possibility your form got corrupted?
