Re: VFP9 SP2 Hotfix 3
There are 3 hotfixes to SP2. We understand that you only need to install hotfix #3 as it includes anything in 1 or 2.

Re: VFP9 - Set relation
We still have many clients on our old dos program. We recently figured out a way to configure Win7 to run it perfectly so it has at least another 5 years.

I'm not knocking VFP9, it is what I work on and I have no interest in working on fpd. Just to say fpd is live and well and it works great for some people.

A genuine VFP9 SP1 question - related to hot keys
I have an application over 20 years old. It has been maintained from fpd and now into vfp9 SP2. Recently we have had several clients tell us that they are forced to use the alt key for button hot keys where in previous versions they did not need to use the alt key. Also, they say some screens work with the regular enter key but not with the 10key pad enter key. I always use the alt key for hot keys so I don't notice any difference.??

Re: FW: [OT]High price of gas
What all the drilling people forget is that if the US drills and comes up with several million additional barrels of oil, the price will remain high because China, India and other emerging economies will compete for that oil. Besides, the experts say that if you begin drilling today, you won't have enough oil to matter for 5-7 years minimum and probably much longer. Drilling probably should be done because it will take many different things, but it is not the answer to the problem. The only viable long term answer is all electric vehicles, high speed all electric trains, and other transportation, etc and renewable energy and probably nuclear. Wind, Solar, geothermal, etc will last a billion years or longer - why not go for it full speed like the US put a man on the moon. We can still use the existing oil for plastic, medications, and all the other things that need oil. What we need is a presidential candidate who will stand up to the Ethanol and Oil lobbiests. One thing is for sure, with Nancy in charge, there is not going to be any additional off shore drilling. That girl is set on forcing the issue. She is a San Francisco liberal and those people want a clean environment to live in. Tell me again what you'd like to see (since it's not nuclear energy)?

Should anything go wrong with the cooling system, the nuclear reactor with overheat causing a meltdown of materials surrounding the reactor, (eg the temperature will go so high as to vaporize steel and concrete, etc). This meltdown will likely cause the release of nuclear particle into the atmosphere, which are almost impossible to cleanup. http://healthandenergy.com/nuclear_dangers.htm http://www.anotherperspective.org/advoc488.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power Regards, LelandJ etc and renewable energy and probably nuclear. Wind, Solar, geothermal, etc will last a billion years or longer - why not go for it full speed like the US put a man on the moon. We can still use the existing oil for plastic, medications, and all the other things that need oil. What we need is a presidential candidate who will stand up to the Ethanol and Oil lobbiests. One thing is for sure, with Nancy in charge, there is not going to be any additional off shore drilling. That girl is set on forcing the issue. She is a San Francisco liberal and those people want a clean environment to live in. Tell me again what you'd like to see (since it's not nuclear energy)? I would like to see clean, safe, renewable energy including solar, wind, ocean, clean coal, which isn't renewable, but the USA has an abundance of coal, biodiesel, other biofuels like ethanol, and petrol fuel to the extent its from our own USA reserves.

Re: [OT] Let's build a train system that nobody will ride
There is a great, fun train ride from Williams AZ to the grand canyon. I took my kids on it 2 years ago. Everything about Arizona - grand canyon, meteor crater, petrified forest, cowboy stuff near phoenix and tombstone, etc. Flagstaff is in the mountains - forest, streams, etc, nothing like you think about Arizona. You are correct about Yosemite. However, I live near San Francisco. There are many tours on very comfortable buses with plenty of leg room as long as you are under 250 lbs. The buses in San Francisco are terrible and crime ridden, but the cable cars are full of tourists and seem safe in the day time. You can take your kids and feel safe in all the communities South of San Francisco. Some parts of San Jose are pretty scary. I used to live in the suburbs. Now I live downtown (small town, under 250,000) and have no intention of moving out of town. - Original Message - From: Stephen Russell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ProFox Email List profox@leafe.com Sent: Monday, June 09, 2008 9:45 AM Subject: Re: [OT] Let's build a train system that nobody will ride On Mon, Jun 9, 2008 at 8:35 AM, MB Software Solutions General Account [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Stephen Russell wrote: Mass transit is great when your population saturation is high enough.

Re: [NF] Dabo 0.8.4 Released
I assume you mean you are still using VFP but are starting to use PostgreSQL on Linux as a database instead of the VFP tables. That is exactly what I want to do - and then eventually start rewriting some of my utility programs into Python and then someday rewrite everything into Python. I think there are a lot of people on this list that are planning or thinking about doing that. Getting started is a real pain.

Thanks Dennis Meulensteen for pointing out the problem + Deprecated bad spelling: unBindEvent() + Web Update now works for ide and demo, as well as the base framework. + Fixed WordWrap in dGrid. + Fixed Windows dTextBox problem, which would change ReadOnly back to False when changing the Alignment. + Added StrictNumericEntry property to dTextBox and dSpinner. + Linked the Find/Replace dialog to dGrid's findReplace() method, enabling finding in a dGrid. (ticket #1126) + Replace All bugfixes. + Forms were always restoring their default size, even when explicit sizes were given. Fixed. + Fixes from Kevin Edwards to make sizing sub-panels perform better, and to propertly set the background color of the dGrid bool renderer checkbox. + Fixed the getLastInsertID() for dbPostgreSQL, to work with non- serial PK's as well. Thanks to John Fabiani, Adrian Klaver, and Lorenzo Alberton. + Added dabo.settings.dateFormat, dateTimeFormat, and timeFormat. If None (the default) the formatting of these date types will be dependent on the user's settings in the operating system. This lets the appdev specify the format desired for display and editing in text controls and the grid.

[OT] Problem with AVG 8.0 free edition
I installed this on my main programming system: Intel P4 1gb (yes I know, old but good) XPPro SP2. Matrox 4 display, ATI 2 display (6 total displays). Running fine for years until I installed AVG 8.0. After that, occasionally, it would reset (you know, like you have to reset Windows occasionally for some stupid reason??), it would come up and look normal, but the task bar and desktop icons would never appear. Sometimes I could CTRL-ALT-DEL (you know, like you have to reset Windows occasionally for some stupid reason??) and get the reset menu. To get it to run, I had to go to safe mode, restore from my Acronis backup or other waste of the day. Finally, I decided to uninstall any new programs and files. When I uninstalled AVG 8.0, the problem went away. Thanks to someone on this list, I installed AVAST and have not had a problem since. When the contract runs out on my AVG server version (not free), I am going to replace it with AVAST. From this time on, I am going to recommend AVAST. Also, I am happy to get rid of the stupid popups that AVG 8.0 forces you to look at. ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com 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.

Point taken, however, note that one of the (many?) problems with SP3 was with one of M$ own programs. You would think they would at least check that. This is not a hardware issue. M$ should have have control over all their own programs. I have an idea for M$ quality checking for the next update. (I am trying to be serious here). Send the update to all the different divisions that have software that is supposed to work with the update and have them see if it does work. If not, then don't send the update out to customers. It makes you wonder if they checked anything. - Original Message - From: Rick Schummer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: profox@leafe.com Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 10:50 AM Subject: RE: [NF] XP Service Pack 3 is out.

Re: [OT] XP Service Pack 3 is out along with some rants
If they would concentrate on quality and new inventive products like Apple, they would not need to be so paranoid and litigious. Of course, when you are a 90+% monopoly, it is natural to loose all the incentive to innovate. They are happy to hang on to their market share. I guess when you have that much money in the bank, it does tend to make you complacent. They could be advancing computing and helping the world to be more efficient. Some people are happy to rip everyone off and keep the status quo. Note the difference between that kind of thinking and T Boone Pickens. He was 70 before he made his first billion. He is 80 and is starting a 10 billion dollar windmill farm to generate 4000 megawatts. T Boone will accomplish what all the politicians refuse to do.

XP02 SP2 - AVG Free 8.0
I downloaded AVG free 8.0 here: http://free.grisoft.com/ww.download?prd=afe It installed ok and seems to work ok, but my computer has already locked up two times in the first hour. This computer has not been locking up more than 1 time per week - and that may be a record for a M$ product considering that I have 6 displays and run many different programs. Has anyone else installed this? Note that I have spybot installed and both times the little 'loading' spybot screen was visible when the lockup occurred. This seems to indicate that there is an incompatibility between the 2 programs. I ran spybot with the AVG free 7.5 version for a year with no particular problem - other than the resident shield would not load beginning a few months ago - if you google that you will get thousands of hits - none of the suggestions worked for me (or anyone else) so I did not worry about it. . ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com 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.

(2) It does burn cleaner than gasoline (even though it is a net carbon negative). As far as making ethanol from 'switch grass' ha ha. That's a good one.

Re: Porting VFP apps to other languages - how big a deal? (was RE: VFPmarketing)
Hey Malcolm, There are many people on this list (including me) that plan to do the same thing you are doing. It would be nice if there was a translator. I probably would not use it for production code because translators are always (my experience) sloppy code, but I would like to see the Python code that does a function similar to vfp. I think a re-write is important, painful, but important. When I re-wrote all my old fpd code into vfp, it was painful and took a year, but now I have a much cleaner program. I think the same will happen when moving to Python. That was 10 years ago - time for a new re-write. Like you, I think almost everything could be done in python instead of using dll/ocx components with the stupid requirement to 'register' them. I wonder what idiot at Microsoft thought up that nonsense? - Original Message - From: Malcolm Greene [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: profox@leafe.com Sent: Sunday, April 20, 2008 9:32 AM Subject: Porting VFP apps to other languages - how big a deal? (was RE: VFPmarketing) Hi Bill, Like you, I sell a suite of proprietary products built on a huge code base of FPD, FPW, and VFP code. At the moment I'm aggressively studying Python as an alternative to VFP. While I haven't started to port any of my code yet, I'm beginning to think that porting my code base may not be the huge effort I originally feared. Why? Because what makes my products unique is their design and algorithms, not the actual plumbing. And I don't need to re-invent my design or algorithms - just the plumbing. One of the things I noticed when I moved my FPD/FPW applications to VFP was how much my code base began to shrink. Partially because I was cleaning up (refactoring) poorly designed code and partially because VFP simplified a lot of functionality that I had previously built by hand. I'm confident that I'm going to see the same type of reduction if I port to Python - especially in the fringe areas of my application that took me outside VFP's 'comfort zone', eg. web interfaces, regular expressions, os interfaces, etc. After studying Python and then reviewing my VFP code with a fresh perspective, I'm surprised about how much VFP 'cruft' is buried in my code. Cruft that is directly tied to the VFP language or workarounds for the VFP language vs. code fundamental to my application's logic. Bottom line: At this point, without having gotten my hands dirty yetg, I'm a lot more optimistic about the feasibility of porting apps from VFP to Python than I was several months ago.

It is unfortunate that the Garden of Eden was in the the US. Here, neither Adam or Eve would be at fault. Here there is no concept of personal responsibility.

Using seek locks you into VFP. If you are starting to design a

would be developing code that would work in other languages and
databases with fewer changes.

Re: Question for you longtime FoxPro guys
In a different email someone pointed out the advantage of separating the user
interface code from the data. I know what you are
doing. I did that for 10 years with fox-dos and I was very happy with it. I
could 'feel' the data and I liked having the control
(like knowing where the record pointer is). I really did not like moving to VFP
with objects, views, and all that nonsense. But I
went to the meetings and forced myself to write some code and make sure I was
not stuck in the past. That was about 9 years ago and
I would never go back. Now I don't care about the record pointer. I don't even
remember why I ever cared. I am not as far along as
others on this list. I feel I am ready to begin moving to Python and PostgreSQL
in the near future. I don't want to start any
flaming on this list, but I think it is possible that most people on this list
will be using something other than VFP ten years
from now. Time passes faster the older you get. Also it gets more difficult to
learn new things.

I did not do a Silent Install, but there are some other things you ought to be aware of in the setups that I found of value. Perhaps my ScreenShots would be of help in that regard. Also, I scored an EXCELLENT book named PostgreSQL For Windows, written by Richard Blum. I purchased an advance copy and had to wait 6 months to get it. It was very much worth the wait. Anyway, all of the other PostgreSQL books I picked up were written with a UNIX/Linux user in mind, with perhaps a slight mention of how to do a Windows installation, kind of... This book nails the Windows aspect of it very nicely. The VFP connectivity is something you will have to dig through. Be sure to get pcAdminIII (free) to help manage the PostgreSQL database.

Re: [OT] Rackspace in the news - exchange server
My company is looking for a replacement exchange server host. Rackspace hosts for Mailtrust and CDC. Does anyone know anything about these or have a suggestion? Mailtrust won't publish their prices - scary CDC is obsessed with something called AppRiver. I told them we used Google for hosting our email and we like them and do not intend to change. They don't want to host exchange unless they also host the email. Also, I asked if they charge for the admin user since it is counted as a user in their control panel and they never answered. We are not going to get any email on the admin account (of course) so why would we be charged? I never heard of that before. The host we have been using for the last 2 years is getting flaky - they are in Los Angeles. They still work most of the time, but email, etc sharing is so critical for us that we are going to get a backup. - Original Message - From: Ed Leafe [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ProFox Mailing List profox@leafe.com Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2008 1:29 PM Subject: [OT] Rackspace in the news http://blogs.zdnet.com/green/?p=768 -- Ed Leafe Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message (including any attached or embedded documents) is intended for the exclusive and confidential use of the individual or entity to which this message is addressed, and unless otherwise expressly indicated, is confidential and privileged information of Rackspace.

Re: [NF] Vista SP1 released to manufacturing.
(my opinion:) When Gates was making all the decisions, it was a great company, I remember supporting it. Ever since that lawyer Balmer took over, all they care about is money and destroying competition. He does not know anything about technology, software and could care less about the products. He has lawyers and sales people doing the programming. ME, Bob, XP, Vista is what you get. I remember when IBM owned the market back in the 60's, 70's and 80's. Then they were famous for backing up the semi with copy machines and suing the competition. They lost their way and almost lost the company. I wonder if we are seeing the beginning of the end of M$? They have a 90+% monopoly so it will take a long time, but I'll bet Balmer and the lawyers can do it. Sad. I remember when they had some of the best programmers in the world.

Re: [OT] Coulter: I'll campaign for Hillary of McCain is the nominee

As long as you know where you are and who you are with, then, no problem. My advise: if you are with a bitch and she wants to give you a BJ and she does not bite, then take the BJ and then go back to what you were doing. Win/Win situation. This assumes there is no hidden cameras. This assumes you don't do something stupid like think the bitch has your best interest in mind - because she does not. A bitch is a bitch.

Re: [NF] For / Against Norton
Exactly. I never have bought a computer so it would run an anti-virus program.

Re: Need tip on TRANSFORM (solved with UDF)
This is not an answer to your question (you already got some answers). I never
use alltrim() in a cursor because it will set the
length of that column to the first record/field that is set. In other words, if
you have a number 10 in the 1st record, that field
will be 2 characters. Then, in the next record, you have a number 1000, it will
only have 2 characters in which to be stored.

I had been using something like this:

ALLTRIM(STR(nValue,10,liDecimals)))
...where liDecimals is a value set at run time depending on the amount

way
to get the transform to behave variably like I had in my initial

lcExpr = '999,999'

Re: VFP9 Error: database object is being used by someone else
vfp9 (see the subject) The file server and terminal servers are all Win2003. The workstations on the local network are Win2000 SP4 or WinXP SP2. We have not been able to determine a single process when the error occurs. It seems to be random. It may not occur for a week or two so it is difficult to debug. I notice another email response from Mike Yearwood that (I believe) recommends having a separate dbc for the views for each user. We already do this for many views as it allows us to easily change a complex view in a prg. I think that the solution will be to have all view definitions in a prg - open a temp dbc for the user, then run the view definition in the prg as it is needed. That will be required one time. After that, the user specific temp dbc will have the view definition which we can use. We can delete the temp dbc with each update to ensure that the view definitions are always up to date. gendbc will automatically create the prg that is needed to create the view and it allows most of the views to be kept in the dbc with the tables. This is of value as we have 3 dbcs with hundreds of tables and at least 2 'standard' views for each table - one for a single record update and one for lookup purposes in grids. Hope that is clear.

Re: [NF] Recommendation for disk image software (Acronis, Norton Ghost, other)
We use Acronis v10. The only complaint we have is that it often says the backup is corrupt. Several times, we used the Acronis boot CD to check the backup, but it always said the backup was ok. Every time we tried to restore a file from the backup, it worked. Our conclusion is that the hard drive installed version of Acronis had some kind of bug. We tried reinstalling at least 2 times and we still often get the bogus message that the backup is corrupt. We reported it to Acronis, but we always got some kind of response that we should do this or that, obviously they do not acknowledge there is a problem. They have a version 11 now, but we are not going to get it until we first determine they have fixed the 'corrupt' bug message. - Original Message - From: Rene Brioul [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: profox@leafe.com Sent: Saturday, October 13, 2007 1:28 AM Subject: RE: [NF] Recommendation for disk image software (Acronis, Norton Ghost,other) Hi Malcolm, Go for the Acronis stuff.

Re: [NF] I need advice for an office color printer
We have a Brother ink jet that has does a good job and has reasonably priced consumables (for an ink jet - stay away from cannon and epson). We have several Brother printers and faxes and multifunction machines. All are good. We think Brother is the best of all printers we have tried. We have a Konica-Minolta color laser that we don't use much. The print quality is good. It it good for printing checks and envelopes - nice front feed. It programs easily/automatically. For example if you print the bottom check (of a sheet of 3) with Quickbooks, it automatically asks you if you have the tear off strip at the bottom so it will print correctly. Very nice to work with a printer that helps you like that. The OKI and some others were 'stupid' and required the user to know and do everything. We had a terrible experience with OKI color laser. It broke after about 600 copies. They wanted us to pay the shipping to them to fix it.The thing weighed a ton. Luckily we bought at Costco so we just took it back and got a refund.

Re: [NF] Shopping for a new monitor
I always used Viewsonic also. I have several monitors on my programming system connected using a Matrox video card. There is something else to consider: Recently I got some monitor stands that allow me to have my monitors about 2 inches higher so that I would have more desk space and have things neater. The Viewsonic monitors have a large rounded frame so that you can't put 3 monitors side-by-side easily. I changed to Sceptre 22 monitors (259 at Costco) because they have a thin frame and they are perfect rectangles. Now my setup is very clean - like you see at some of the stock market places on TV. When you browse a table with many fields, it is great to be able to stretch the table across 3 or 4 monitors. Another thing to consider that someone else started is that the TV, movies and computers are converging. All monitors will be 1080P soon. The Sceptre 22 monitors from Costco have VGA, DVI and HDMI connectors. I recently got a new AMD processor, ABIT motherboard with Nvidia graphics and a HDMI connector. I will eventually convert all my equipment to this. Soon you will be able to get a PCI Express X16 graphics board with 4 or more HDMI connectors. - Original Message - From: Whil Hentzen (Pro*) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: profox@leafe.com Sent: Monday, August 13, 2007 10:09 AM Subject: [NF] Shopping for a new monitor Hi gang, I've been using a pair of ViewSonic 19 flat panels with built-in speakers on my desk for several years.

It is much more general- purpose than VFP, in that you can do stuff that has nothing to do with data at all, and you aren't tied to a single platform. One of the guys in our user group writes a lot of the embedded logic for Xerox's machines in Python that runs on some custom OS used for those circuit boards. Sure, you can do desktop apps with Dabo, but you can also do web apps just as easily. You can write shell scripts easier in Python than in bash, sh or zsh, and Python code is so much easier to read than Perl. The software that is used for this list is written in Python, as is SpamBayes and BitTorrent. IOW, the possibilities are endless. That is extremely important to someone starting out.

Re: [NF] Vista, all it's CRAPPED up to be
I agree with all except the multiple monitors, I have multiple monitors on Win2K - no problem. If you have trouble, it is probably due to the driver. You may be able to get an upgrade. Maybe we need a list of reasons for not upgrading: 1. don't have to worry about being forced to load IE7 with all the problems it causes. 2. activation - no need to call and be put on hold for 30 minutes when you upgrade your hard drive (stupid!!) 3. No need to hassle with sharing since it works in Win2K as it should and XP never did work. 4. No need to go through the new 'look and feel/themes' Win2K was the last OS from Microsoft that worked pretty well. As far as the remote desktop - there are many alternatives available that work great. I'll bet MS could increase their income by eliminating the activation crap and all the people who take those phone calls. Probably millions per year. I'll bet it costs them more than it produces. All they would have to do is imprint a name with each serial number and not allow it to be changed. Everytime it is installed, that same name would have to be entered. It could all be automated and would save them millions. That way you could upgrade your hard drive without the phone call. A stolen copy would have a certain name/serial number and could be easily blocked automatically. I have been using that with my software since 1982 and I have no trouble with pirated copies. I freely distribute trial versions. When they register, I check some things to ensure it is valid and give them a serial number cannot be used by anyone else without that same name appearing on the screen every time it comes up. If I am told about a pirated copy (1 time in all those years), it is easy to determine who distributed it. Most shareware that I have works that way. No need for activation. I guess that is too simple. MS would rather hassle all their clients - or maybe they are getting bad advice from someone who is making a lot of money from the activation nonsense.

Re: I just got 3 photocopies of a 1099 from a client. That's not legal, is it?
Definitely not. If you file electronically, the IRS will not get a copy from you. Don't worry, the IRS will compare the information you supply with the information supplied by your client/vendor.

How to stop Microsoft from screwing up your WinXP computer with IE70
Create a file on your computer with notepad named DoNotAllowIE70.reg and add the following 6 lines (the 3rd line must be blank) Watch for line wrap Then double click on that file. It will add the registry entry and you will be safe. Note that only WinXP and Win2003 users are in danger. rem 1 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Setup\7.0\DoNotAllowIE70] @=1 rem 6 If you support network users, get ready for a lot of support calls as none of their workstations will be able to access files on other workstations that have always worked in the past. Another benefit of running software from Microsoft. You get to periodically receive lots of unnecessary support calls from your clients so your net profit does not get too large. If your users get the benefit of IE70 and you need a workaround, we like the 2nd one on this web page: http://www.intelliadmin.com/blog/2006/10/why-some-shortcuts-say-publisher.html ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Re: [NF] Two NICs in a single PC = two IPs, right?
I also use the smc7004 barricade because it is easy to program and has a readable log, 4 ports, etc. I have 12 NameVirtualHosts on one apache2 web server, no problem, I guess I could have 100 or even 1000. But I can only have one work with https. All of my domains work on the same IP address. Regarding having 2 nics and therefore 2 IPs and having two dsl lines and two 7004 barricades - each directed to the different nics and it did not work. Only the first nic to initialize (I guess) worked. I tried on SuSE 10.0 and on Win2000. I don't understand why some clever apache guru hasn't figured out a way to do it. I am certain there is a way. There is always a way if a person with the knowledge attacks the problem.
