The information in this article applies to:
The following questions and answers pertain to screens, data files, and BROWSE command issues.
1. Q. Every time I try to generate a specific screen, I have to
add my supporting screens to the screen set. How can I avoid
this problem?
A. To save these options, you must create a project and include the
screens as a screen set.
2. Q. When I create a screen set with more than one window, how do
I move through my windows?
A. To cycle through the windows of your screen set, use the PAGE UP
key, the PAGE DOWN key, or modify the value of the system memory
variable _CUROBJ.
1. Q. How do I import a data file into Microsoft FoxPro for
MS-DOS?
A. To import a data file, use either the IMPORT command or the
APPEND FROM command. A wide range of file formats is supported.
Please refer to the APPEND FROM command in the "Commands &
Functions" manual for a complete list of the supported file
formats. If you are receiving the error message "String too long
to fit," insert a carriage return and a linefeed after each
string of data.
1. Q. I modified the structure of my database, but when I use the
BROWSE command on the file, I don't see the changes.
A. If you cannot see your changes, you are most likely using the
BROWSE command from the System menu or the View panel, or you
are issuing a BROWSE LAST or BROWSE PREFERENCE command from the
Command window. To see these structural changes, you must first
issue a plain BROWSE command from the Command window to display
the new default version of the database.
2. Q. When I press the CTRL+N shortcut key combination in my
program to append a new record in the Browse window, I get the
musical note instead. How can I correct this problem?
A. CTRL+N is a shortcut key combination associated with the System
menu. In your program, you need to issue the command SET SYSMENU
ON and/or use a BROWSE command instead of the BROWSE NOMENU
command.
