Specialists in Microsoft Access and Visual Foxpro database training and development
I am happy to hear from existing clients but I am taking no new calls.
March 2015
I have now retired and am taking on no new work. I'd like to thank all our customers over the past 20 years. It really has been a most enjoyable time.
FoxPro ForceExt() function
The vFP ForceExt() function returns the filename with the specified extension replacing any existing extension.
For example:
ForceExt
("C:\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9\vfp9.exe", "bak")
would return
"C:\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9\vfp9.bak"
Note that you must not include the period in the required extension. FoxPro does not check for the validity of the name that is generated and will return a filename with a double period.
VBA equivalent
Microsoft Access does not have equivalents to these FoxPro file name commands so I wrote this library Visual Basic functions to do give me the same facilities in VBA.
