The server is a Pentium II - about 600 mhz, NT Windows 2000 Server, IIS 5.0. The pdf-factory is a demo version which I use in my demo site. The actual clients must purchase a 1 user version. The service is running under a user account with proper NT security, and the user's default printer is pdf-fa...

Rick, I have created a pure xharbour / FWH application on the web. You may view it at https://207.119.126.13 login as "dutto" or "sunri" with a password of "x" This is a combination of HTML / Java Script which was developed by artists and a back end MS-Sql server databa...

I have an exe loaded as a service on NT. Many thanks to the help received from this forum in creating exe's to run as a service. Now, I need this application to print to the default printer. My application uses the tprinter class and the Fivewin report class. During the print attempt I receive the f...

Thanks very much!!

What is the best way to make an application "Sleep" for a specified time interval?

In xbase there was a Sleep() function.

I'm aware of "inkey()"

Is there a "best" way to make the process inactive for a time period.

Thanks.

I need to write a program to load as a service on a server.

What special considerations do I need to be aware of?

Thanks.

I have done this in the past. Each control needed to be "refreshed" in the initialization of the ::activate() The reason I did this was due to many controls / folder pages, etc, which were created from data driven applications. The computers were much slower ( 386 speed ) and this saved lo...

Antonio, This is excellent. I have been looking for this since Fivewin 1.8. Many years ago I hired several artists to make my applications look especially "pretty". I experimented with this concept, but ran into difficulties. One problem I had was "re-using" a dialog. I could get...

Fivewin creates beautiful .EMF files within the report object.

Does anyone know of a utility or library I can call from within my applications to convert these .EMF files to a .PDF file?

I need to print a signature on a check. How can I combine text and an image in my output to accomplish this? Currently I'm using pcl command embedded in a text file to control fomatting and then copying that file to the printer device. It works great. How can I include an image file ( signature ) wi...

Thank you. I will try. FYI - the offending line of code that brought this to my attention was a call to FWH function lIsDir( pathspec ) here is your code from filename.prg function lIsDir( cNewDir ) // Checks an existing directory local cDir := CurDrive() + ":\" + CurDir() I linked in my o...

Has anyone else experienced a "random" GPF when calling curdir() ? If yes, is there a workaround for curdir()
