Strange VFP Report Behaviour

Author: Laurie Alvey

Posted: 2014-07-01 04:41:42   Link

I'm running a VFP9 SP2 report (REPORTBEHAVIOR = 90) which has a memo field

in the detail band. The control is set to stretch with overflow but does

not display all the text - there are only 5 lines and the control ends with

an ellipsis (...).

I changed the font face from Verdana to Arial and the problem disappeared.

Anyone else seen this sort of thing?

Laurie

Sorry, as a french contributor, i dont understand what "ellipsis",as a character,means.

Could you give us the asc code of it ?

I'va had that kind of (in ugly french "merdouille") when i used some exotic fonts,

downloaded from nowhere, whose characteristics are not reliable under VFP

or other Wins' apps.

Can you upload me the font by mail ? I'll try it and say if it is a pain.

An ellipsis is "...". It is sometimes

represented in multiple characters as "..." or ".

. .". It is not an ASCII character. I tried

pasting one into this post, but it did not show up.

Check the trim mode settings in your text controls in the FRX.
