Hey Ted - thank you SO MUCH for this additional input - I really Appreciate! Seriously!!! The Profox list is a Plethora of info with a Wealth of Knowledgeable people - that puts other mailing lists to Shame!
I was just looking around at Rick's site. And, now I'm going to look at the link below (I already did follow it - now I just need to continue the follow-up after writing this up)... Thanks again Ted - and - ah - U Rock! -K- -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ted Roche Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 10:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: When did MS start requiring logins to MSDN? So, I thought I'd help out a little more on the thread about generating screens from PRGs and look up the information located in the appendices of the FoxPro manuals for structures of the SCX files. I googled "foxpro structure form SCX" and the first link was msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa975386(v=vs.71).aspx. When I tried to get to that page, I was greeted with an MSDN login page that said, "Because you're accessing sensitive info, you need to verify your password." Hello? What part of a screen table structure is sensitive information, on a product MS doesn't even support any more? FYI, I did NOT login, just tried the search in another browser and got the same page, this time without the login. As best I can figure, MS recognized that I used that browser to purchase an Action Pack, so it likely had a cookie, and they wanted my login to track my usage of their site. Why is it that MS feels they can inconvenience their paying customers more is one of those mysteries of MS... Re: the original question: the above page in turn links to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa975387%28v=vs.71%29.aspx, which points out that FoxPro owners have the FILESPEC directory on their machine, and that is a rich source of more information on the subject. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/BC2B815B3EFC4296BBAC5CB99A68E5E4@Programming2 ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
