Re: [NF] Questions on migrating VFP app
Just a minor point, your app can move to the web with any kind of database: VFP, SQLserver, PostGreSql, etc. FoxInCloud just does not care. VFP database on a web server is much more secured, reliable and fast: Secured: it resides in the app directory, NOT in the web site, so only the app access it, not user directly; you can set up whatever NTFS security scheme you see fit. Reliable: server startup and shut down are properly controlled; no more cdx or fpt broken because of a workstation unplugged in the midst of a transaction. Fast: no more indexes traveling over th wire; everything happens within the server.

Can anyone point me to some of the more current and complete discussions on this topic (on this list or otherwise)? The new app will continue to be a desktop app and will have the same interface (so there is no retraining required to implement the new version). It currently has the option to have data stored as local .dbf tables or on an MS SQL table. So we also need to continue to support local/disconnected data sets. We are looking for suggestions on application frameworks, data libraries (ORM, etc.), VS technologies (Silverlight/WPF/Winform/ADO/etc.) and other resources that will aid in the conversion. We are not looking for something that will just convert the code to .net as there are some key architectural changes we want to implement under the hood. Any links or other references to point me in the right direction will be greatly appreciated. Wow!
Re: [NF] Questions on migrating VFP app
Yeap, I understand, they do fall in the irrational, technophobe group I was mentioning. And, strangely enough, even in this case a web-based solution can help... In any scenario you need some kind of open door for upgrade, maintenance and other stuff; unless you physically come to the client's place with your toolbox on every issue, you probably have some kind of inward access to act upon workstations, server, LAN resources. A Web-based solution like FoxInCloud acts exactly the same except you only need a http access for maintenance: no 'remote desktop' or the like needed for 99% maintenance tasks. Just execute a VFP program to upload and substitute the new app version; users just see a 'maintenance in progress' message for 30 seconds and resume working without any loss of data or work context. It's just 'transparent': no need to warn them, ask them to log off, etc. Another strong point is the freedom of choice for users regarding their equipment: go for Mac if you like, or Linux, or pad, or whatever you see fit for your taste and needs. No constraint on 'windows xx', no pollution of your app by 3rd party software like antivirus, less administrative burden to control OS upgrades or the like: your users are totally free, even on their preferred browser. So, IMHO, offering a LAN server-based app can be a very pertinent offer to such a tech-agnostic client, especially if, with a tool like FoxInCloud, you can offer it at 1/5 th of your competitor's cost while making good money.

Re: Off Topic: GPS and pad devices
Any Andriod pad is Linux based...for what that's worth. I can't see anyone getting a Linux distro to work on a pad since the hardware is typically very non-standard. So, if cell phones have a GPS receiver in them, it's just a matter of including whatever chip provides that service in the pad circuitry...And that will be using satellite communication, bypassing cell technology and WIFI altogether. Hmmm. Interesting. Mike On 06/24/2011 11:44 AM, Mike Copeland wrote: Anyone know if GPS functionality is possible with a pad device that only has WIFI connectivity?

Re: [NF] GPS and pad devices

I have one of the Asus Transformers, have had it about 3 weeks now. Love it and am very impressed. But it is odd to have a device that for almost all of my purposes is worthless without a data connection to the Internet.

My memory of this is what Fred states. If you just move the CD (or DVD) drive up the ladder to a higher letter, then recompile, the problem goes away.

RE: FPW26 Freezing
John, I had a FPW26 app which a user transferred to another machine and then found that it would only work if she had a CD in the CD drive - why should that be? I had this problem once but can't remember the solution. If you're still having the problem I'll pull my old source and see if I can find the solution. Let me know.

Re: [NF] Questions on migrating VFP app
Granted VFP program design is 95% prone to sql injection. You combine text to form the command and you execute that generated statement. Poof SQL Injection is going to be difficult to stop. I'm obviously completely ignorant about this because I do not understand this SQL Injection issue. In order to execute code that modifies a table you have to have a valid EXECUTABLE statement, right? So something like DROP TABLE would be a bad thing. What I don't understand is how any sane person would design a query interface that results in a statement like DROP TABLE being *executed*. In my systems, somebody could put DROP TABLE sometable into a search blank, sure. And the result in my code would be something like: Select foo from bar where bar == DROP TABLE sometable. That's not executable, and it won't hurt anything. So much for searches. What about data entry? Well again: Insert into foo (myfield) values (DROP TABLE) won't do any harm either. Nor would Update foo set myfield = DROP TABLE where myotherfield = DELETE ALL or whatever else you can imagine. In fact, as long as you don't let users write out an entire SQL SELECT expression from scratch, I can't think of any possible combination of data entry controls and code that would result in an EXECUTABLE expression that damages data. Why would anybody design an interface that lets ordinary users have control of the command terms in a SQL expression, as opposed to just values that go into, or come out of, tables? Can somebody explain this to me? Thanks.

However it would appear that all of these multitudinous examples rely on just two basic obvious dimwitted moves: 1. Allowing somebody to type in the name of a table or field instead of making them choose it from a list of valid options. 2. Somehow allowing strings to be entered into a SQL statement without enclosing them in appropriate delimiters.

Re: [NF] GPS and pad devices
Yep, the pad seems to be closer to a cell phone than a computer. I was surprised at how the difference plays out in what you expect it to accomplish. Pretty much, if it's able to consume from the Internet, it works great (with the exception of Angry Birds, of course.) Other wise, to me at least, it seems crippled (although Angry birds almost makes up for it.) I keep forgetting that it's MicroSofff that tries to turn everything into a nail for their Windows hammer.
