Lanqin, First - greetings neighbor! I'm in Danville, Illinois just about a hundred miles north of you - I find that unusual considering the wide dispersal usually found on the UT! My brother-in-law even graduated from SIU in Carbondale. Sounds like you've got some hardware problems (particularly #4 - "Cancel? Ignore or Suspend?") and some very basic Fox questions. Don't take this wrong, but you might want to check out one of the "Fox for Dummies" books. I know there's a V2.6 (I've got one - that's when I started in Fox), and I know there's one for VFP5.0, but it's hard to find "on the shelf". I bet there's one for VFP3.0 and the differences between PC and Mac should be minor. I wish I could recommend a good "local" Fox Resource, but I don't know of any. How big of an application are you dealing with? I ported a lot of code from 2.6 to 3.0, and then later to 5.0, and it was pretty painless but I had written the original 2.6 version. If the application isn't huge, I would recommend you "start from scratch" in 3.0 because then you'll be able to "encapsulate the whole program in your head" and *really* understand how it works (the "No table in use" error is a very simple error, it's just finding the spot where the table get's closed that's tough! <grin>). Whether you use Object Oriented Methodoligies or not, you would then be able to work through the program "one error at a time" as you wrote it, and not be trying to figure out all of them induced by the port at once. Does the original 2.6 program run correctly (no "Cancel? Ignore or Suspend?" errors)? Keep good backups and best of luck! Kevin E. Stroud Dear sir or Ma'am, I am working at Project 12-Ways, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. My current assignment is to write a program using Visual Foxpro 3.0 for Macintosh. I could not find product ID anywhere, though we really bought the authentic version. I would appreciate it if you could help find the product ID which I know is necessary to get technical support from you. I have also a few questions I would like to get help from you: 1). I am using an application built by an ex-programmer on my position using FoxPro 2.6 on a Power Macintosh with 16M Ram. Since query was not programmed, I opened tables and read them directly, which crashed the machine a few times causing a lot of data loss. Could you give me some possible reasons for this? 2). On two occasions, I input a lot of data into tables without quitting the application. When I tried to save the data, the machine crashed. I had to restart the computer, but the application went dead again. It kept telling me "No table in use." Could you tell me what is possibly wrong? 3). I appended some records from one table to another. Sometimes, the records are appended, but sometimes they are not. What is even stranger is when I checked the records, they were appended. Later, when I checked them again, they disappeared. These tables are indexed. 4). I wrote a program with version 2.6. When I ran it, the machine constantly asks me "Cancel? Ignore or Suspend?" Why? 5). Since in our work we need to graph routinely. I want to generate a click-button selection method to produce all of the graphs without modifications. I am trying to use FoxPro 3.0 to make graphs programmatically. No graph but an empty window poped up, although I used the following programming commands open database p12ways:midi:midi:mide.dbc exclusive select date, pvplus, pvminus from adult INTO cursor query do (_GENGRAPH) with "AUTOGRAPH", 1,1,"Affect",.T.,.T.,.T.,"YY",.F. 6). I need to use two tables to produce a report. Both tables have multiple records (One has four and the other has five.). I can put the information from one table into the detail part of the report. How can I put the infromation from the other table into the same report? 7). Can you give me a complete example of main program without using object-oriented programming so that I will know which aspect I need to consider. Thank you very much for your help.
