I am just foraying into Visual Studio project development: please excuse my VERY basic question.
I have been successful in interfacing our Foxpro tables with SQL 2012 Express 64 bit: I can copy table structures into SQL 2012, I can populate the tables with FoxPro data, and I can extract from SQL into FoxPro tables thru small Fox routines.
I am now getting down to maintaining the primary masters of my application. When I am ready, I will block the master updates in Fox, and use the SQLtoFox routine to get the latest version of the masters for the legacy Fox applications.
I would be thrilled if someone could take the time to give me a walkthrough for the following :
I have a table STATEMST in my database (the simplest)
Fields:
STATE1 CHAR(40) as PRIMARY KEY
ROADPERMIT
LST_PERC decimal(8,2)
I am creating a form which accepts a text value entered in TEXTBOX1
This has to be checked if it exists in (SELECT STATE1 DISTINCT FROM STATEMST)
IF it exists: to display ROADPERMIT and LST_PERC for editing
if not, to present three textbox controls for entry.
Finally, an UPDATE button to update the statemast with UPDATE if there was only a EDIT, and INSERT into STATEMST if a new record.
If I can get past this, I will have learnt all I need to to start the first menus and forms for my application. I have not been successful in inserting the SQL query into VBASIC: SELECT has a different meaning there.
Thanks in advance!!
