It's very strange. How is that a file is there but it's not visible in any way? Did you try using dir command from command prompt?

Just an update. Turning off "Hide protected operating and system files" didn't make any difference. Still only 2 of the 5 CDXs are visible. I tried rebooting after changing the setting and that didn't work either.

At least the program is seeing them...

Tim, Thanks for the input. It just occurred to me, that I can add a check for the needed CDXs into the program. Actually, I already had: if ! file(work.cdx) …(reindex) endif For each CDX, but when I looked at the directory not all of them were there. That is what started the confusion. Anyhow, now I...

James, When Microsoft released the Spring Creators update, they turned off Network Discovery, a number of essential services, and also some of the settings reverted to default. They never released a full list of the changes, and never respond to requests for support to get back network discovery opt...

Enrico, Well I tried checking my system. The actual sequence to the setting is: Explorer, View tab, Options, Change folder and search options, View tab, Advanced Settings, Hide protected operating and system files It is set to hide them on my computer, yet I have never observed this issue on my comp...

Enrico,

Well, that is a setting I never heard about. The computer is in use right now, but I will let you know what I find when I can get to it.

Thanks.

Try Explorer -> Display -> Options - > Folder options -> Display and then remove the check from Hide protected system files (sorry for the translation).

This one has me confused. I developed a small application on my Windows 10 computer. Today I installed it on another Windows 10 computer. There was an error when running it that was due to the limited rights, which I fixed. For some reason I noticed there were only two CDX files in the directory whe...

... test your code since I don't use Harbour and I don't have the latest FW version installed. However all those syntax errors look like they might be invisible characters. This used to happen whenever you copied code online using the MS Edge browser--it stuck in a lot of characters that you couldn't ...

creo que no. Mas puede usar el SUMATRAPDF.EXE en modo invisible. Llamado desde tú código fuente.

Saludos.

... numbers. That is what I would do. Or, you could use something like strtran([fieldname]," ", chr(160)). This will replace spaces with an invisible character that looks like a space. I don't know if XBrowse can handle that character. I just noticed that it appears that this is an item ...

... so I wrote up a sample customer class for you. If you are using MS Edge, don't copy the source from it--use a different browser. Edge puts in invisible characters which will give you syntax errors that will drive you crazy. The code will need a few additions to be workable (see the comments). ...

You will see lots of these types of errors:

Preceptron1.prg(5) Error E0016 Syntax error: ' '

The character within the quote marks is Hex A0 and is invisible. It is decimal 160. Visually, it appears to just be a space (Hex 20), but it is not.

... without any errors. Note that you cannot see any errors in the lines showing errors by the compiler. That is because all the errors are caused by invisible characters. I probably spent 6-8 hours in the last couple of weeks because of this. I have been using Edge for a couple of years and didn't ...

OK, I found the problem! It only occurs when I copy code from the forum. Sometimes there are special characters (invisible) instead of spaces indenting the code. I this case it was this line: CLASS TPerceptron   METHOD New[special characters]METHOD LearnENDCLASS  When I ...
