RE: Best way to move a file (other than COPY FILE and DELETE FILE)

Chances are it's using legacy Windows APIs. You can check out the vfp2c32.fll VFPX project, which has wrappers around a ton of more current Windows APIs, if you want to use them. -- rk -Original Message- From: ProfoxTech On Behalf Of

Re: Best way to move a file (other than COPY FILE and DELETE FILE)

Actually, I think VFP is using the Windows "rename" API (whatever it's called) to do the function. A long time ago I did a test between a C program to 'move files' and a VFP app to 'move files'. Something like several thousand files, over a Gigabyte as I recall. VFP was just as fast. In fact it

Re: Best way to move a file (other than COPY FILE and DELETE FILE)

Just my 2 cents, but I would venture a guess that what VFP is actually doing in the background to perform a "RENAME" is to -- copy the file to the new location -- delete the original But, it is more convenient to do one step (for your application) than two. Mike MB Software Solutions, LLC

Hmmm...I didn't realize that would work for thisfigured it was just for the files in the directory where they existed, but sure enough, from the VFP help text:  "If FileName1 and FileName2 are in different directories or folders, FileName1 is moved into the directory or folder of

Best way to move a file (other than COPY FILE and DELETE FILE)

VFP9SP2 on Win10 Pro clients We've got a document management system (DMS) we wrote for a client and we need to "archive" some files by moving them to a subfolder from the main one.  The first idea is to use VFP's COPY FILE command and then just delete it once done.  I wanted to ask if anyone

I have blamed this on anti-virus for a while. But now I hesitate to say it is just anti-virus. I have a Windows 2012 server that the automated builds happen on. During a build process I browsed to the folder where install files were being created and signed. The signing process failed because

Same here. We have 10-12 people on the VPN and at times it is crawling. I suspect someone is doing something bandwidth heavy. Could be Windows Updates. 100Mbps up and down. My VPN server is asking to be restarted for updates which is a bit worrying... On Wed, 25 Mar 2020 at 16:00, Richard Kaye

Hi All, Hope that everyone is doing well home alone... Perhaps this isn't exactly the same problem, but I've had the following scenario: Working in a Form, Report or Class, trying to exit, and get the warning about the companion file being missing or corrupted (the .SCT, .FRT or .VCT).

Before spending a lot of money it wouldn't hurt to try a temporary CAT-5 to your router to determine if wifi is your bottleneck. If so you could run a wifi analyzer app on your phone to ensure that you're not using a congested channel or sitting in a dead spot. Sometimes moving your gear a small

Hi, Paul: Do you know if the port and adapter are USB 2 or 3? What does a speed testing site like speedtest.net (or the UK equivalent) tell you your current connection is? Of course, it all depends on where the bottleneck is: your machine, adapter, home net speed, VPN overhead, the office's VPN

Hi all At the moment I am working from home and connected via VPN. At the moment I am using an AC 600 dual-band USB wireless adapter and I was wondering if I would see noticeably better performance with, say, an AC 1900 adapter. Your thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks Paul Newton
