发帖数: 36252 | 1 Got a Visual FoxPro 6 report. trying to find out it's data source. but
when go to manu -> View -> Data Environment, I got a blank screen.

如果有SOURCE CODE通常会有USE XXX (TABLE NAME)表示用什么表

发帖数: 36252 | 6 I think you must mean the code from the main foxpro application's user
interface. I do see something that points me to the right direction.
that's a good lead. thanks!

发帖数: 1781 | 7 OMG, FoxPro 6... are we backing to last century?
anyway, try use data import wizard of MS SQL, and use foxpro data source and
see if it can give you something. hopefully it still got the driver
installed. | i****a
发帖数: 36252 | 8 ok, found out the report gets data in "current session". so if I have a
database opened in the command window, the report will use that. if I have a
query result, the report will use that...
now if I can figure out why it the .scx (form) would not print the report to
the previously hard coded path after I updated 1 field in the report....
the action button in the form is doing "report from xxxx to print" |
