Looking forward Nadeem Asif Hi Nadeem, you can compile DOS Foxpro 2.6 program into VFP9 and it's also work with vfp9. But look will be poor. I advice you to rewrite your application in VFP9 using. Foxpro 2.6 dos free download, foxpro 2.6 dos freeware and shareware download. Mac Categories Audio and MP3 Business Development. This application will allow you to transfer tables to and from Microsoft Access and FoxPro databases.
In my school days, i developed a hotel management system in legacy programming language foxpro 2.6. Few months ago, i revived the application and its running pretty well on windows xp. But, i am stuck at printing. Right now i am printing the page to a text file. Afterward i manually open the file and call the print function on that.
Foxpro 2.6 Help
I googled and found no effective tutorial or link or anything as to how can i get to print directly from foxpro 2.6. The printer is USB supported and i have tried the trick of adding another printer for virtual port LPT1 and then spooling. Nothing worked. Later i downloaded an application which acts as a spooler and sends any file that is added to the specified directory to Printer. Still, no success.

Can anyone help me with a short example, a link or a tutorial which guides me to the printing settings in foxpro 2.6
Thanks !!

Install the printer and share it. You may need to set permissions to allow Authenticated Users to use the printer.Add NET USE LPT1: CRAIGUSBPRINTER to the logon script for the user's profile.For help on logon scripts, look up 'To assign a logon script to a profile' in XP Help.

Not true - it works perfectly well in Vista and Windows 7, as long as they are the 32-bit versions of those operating systems.

I can get Foxpro to run but need the extended version because of the file sizes involved in the application.
I keep getting incompatible memory manager messages. I have tried most memory settings but none work. IT has been a while since I last used Foxpro and tried to set up the environment. Here is what I have at the moment.
