Hey all, It’s that time of year - the Valero Ride to the River 2016, which is a distance bike ride to raise money to fund research into a cure for Multiple Sclerosis. I missed the ride last year as I was in the middle of moving to a new house, and didn’t have time to train. I almost missed it

I've gotten interested in Android's potential to teach me programming instead of just games and social media. I enjoyed the SoloLearn LearnPython app. Their PHP one wasn't as good, but i felt I got something out of it. I'm currently using Enki, but I'm not sure i like their 5-a-day workout style.

Matt how many fields in the row need to be updated? To me your process is get all rows that need to be inserted into other system. Then insert that data into other system without the flag column right? /* Anyway, in FoxPro, I could just loop through each row, run "scatter memvar", locate/seek

If you use Oracle ODBC to connect, a VFP updateable view on the table you wish to update, and a second read-only view from the source table, you can scatter and gather (and then TABLEUPDATE() ) between the two. On Wed, Sep 14, 2016 at 9:08 AM, Matt Wiedeman wrote: > I

I could write a massive update statement but there are a lot of fields. I may end up doing it that way. I just found the %ROWTYPE attribute...it seems to work like a "scatter memvar" but there is no "gather memvar" equivalent that I can find. -Original Message- From: Koen Piller

The simplest solution is still resurrecting Visual Foxpro. Micro$oft has its source codes. Market shares of VFP has nothing to do with maintaining an old but popular tool. Of course, abandoning VFP could force everyone to buy new developments from Micro$oft and hire new programmers. Sometimes, I
