Set resource to problem

[damezumari]

I use vfp9 sp2 and winxp.

In development environment I type 'set resource to maxpreview' in the
command window.

My intention is to preview a report in the development environment,
maximise the report and reposition the preview toolbar. I will then
include maxpreview.dbf in myproject and in the code SET RESOURCE TO
maxpreview before REPORT FORM.

The sad thing, however, is that when I issue 'set resource to
maxpreview' I get an error message saying 'Cannot open file ...
maxpreview.dbf'.

Do I create the table first? If yes, how?

Regards,

Jan

The statement set resource to <tablename> should create both a .dbf
and a .fpt file. If you omit one of them in your distribution, the fox
will not be able to open it.

Hi Jan

Sure you can use your own resources dbf in your project, as I sometimes do th
same

1. Make sure the resources file status in your project is Included (the defaul
is Excluded
2. Before REPORT FORM command, check and do command as follow

IF !USED("myResource"
USE myResource IN
ENDI

SET RESOURCE TO "myResource

REPORT FORM ......

Hope this helps

Kind regards
