Hi all,
Long time, no chat.. But I still lurk. It's good to see this much chatter on such a great product. Anyway, I have a former (and now current) client who has 2 applications written in VFP 8 or 9 that talk to an Oracle server. The programs were written back in 2000, with the last build being around 2006 or so. At that time, it was working with Oracle 8i. They have set up some new computers and installed Oracle 11. They have no access to Oracle 8i (Oracle long since discontinued it.) Even if a 3rd party still has it available, due to various reasons, they could not use a version from any source other than the original manufacturer. The problem is that their initial attempts to get it working did not work. They have some people working on it, but I thought I would check with you to see if any of you have any ideas why it might not work (and better, what to do to fix it.) The problem seems to be around the TNS approach they used to route to the correct server. I did find some source code, but not sure if it is the same as what is in the .exe they run. So my preference is to get it to run without having to create a new exe. Anyway, I appreciate any suggestions you may have.
