Title:
Can I simulate the command window in an application
I have several compiled applications running on computers that have only the FoxPro6 runtime files installed. Occasionally I would like to get in and fix something. If I had full FoxPro installed, I could fix from the command window.
I have prepared a small app that I use to open files and browse tables that are not readily viewable in the application. I can modify records one at a time, create and delete index tags, reindex, pack, zap, etc because I have build those specific functions into my utility app. It would give me much more capability in the utility app if I could simply type a valid FoxPro command into a text field and then someway execute that command. For instance, if I had a series of records with the wrong date I could do something like:
Replace all trandate with date()-5 for trandate = date()-4
to simply move the date in those records back one day.
Is something like this even possible in a compiled application? Obviously I would have to use the utmost discretion with this power.
