-1 I absolutely disagree. While he might promote Dabo, I certainly don't think Ed shits on VFP. Nor did Ted (who doesn't use Fox anymore). These guys have moved onto more modern softwares and are embracing change. I absolutely love VFP, but I prefer MySQL for the backend...but that doesn't mean I speak disparagingly about the Fox. My apps have never (afaik) had corruption because I think I've coded them quite well; however, the daytime app I work on (not mine, but a legacy app from LONG ago that uses direct table edits via table buffering and NO views), suffers from lots of memo file corruption. Why? I think the way Fox accesses data across the LAN (needing a constant connection) and the ways people did things way back when seem to cause some issues today. Hence, that kind of legacy stuff gives the Fox a bad rap, which may be construed as "shitting all over Foxpro" but I think it's just one of those solutions that didn't account for the ways things change in design, and hence, it's just not as good a "mousetrap" as today's database backends can be. That's not a slam....it's just a (disputable) fact, imo. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
