For a few days Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection crashes while attempt to connect to virtual machine.

Errors in event viewer are:

* Faulting application mstsc.exe, version 6.0.6001.18000, faulting module mstscax.dll, version 6.0.6001.18000, fault address 0x0015b2f5.
* Fault bucket 675065036. [I’m really curious what’s it means :-) ]

Sometimes I really don’t like Microsoft.
Remote Desktop can’t be uninstalled and reinstalled, it’s not in Add/Remove Programs list and it’s not windows component.

After a lot search on google I’ve found this :

and solution like this :

* Created a new folder "RDP" in %windir%
* Copy "mstsc.exe" and "mstscax.dll" from "C:\Windows\ $NtServicePackUninstall$" to this folder
* Copy the folder "en-US" "from C:\Windows\System32" to this folder
* Copy the "mstsc.exe.mui" and "mstscax.dll.mui" from "C:\Windows\ $NtServicePackUninstall$" to "C:\Windows\RDP\en-US"

IT WORKS !!
mstsc.exe from new folder RDP works, connects to my virtual machines.
It’s old version of Remote Desktop, but nevermind, alternative to reinstall system is worse that using it.

Visual Foxpro (VFP) Reports - Group header not printing all fields

If you find that the group header doesnt print all the fields you expect try the following...

For straight text fields (used to get around the label truncation thing) use sing quotes ' around the text instead of doubles ".

'A test bit of text' instead of "A test bit of text"

If you are printing a text field...

e.g.
oReportStatic.UserName

try enclosing it in AllTrim(), this seems to sort out the processing.

e.g.

AllTrim(oReportStatic.UserName)
