RE: Version that changed the database?
I don't know of any reason his VFP6 app wouldn't run just fine on VFP9. In general I would agree, but having done a fair number of these I don't see this as an automatic. There are lots of reasons a VFP 6 app won't run the same or without new errors under VFP 9: 1) SQL engine changes (see SET ENGINEBEHAVIOR). 2) Report rendering because of GDI+ causes truncation and overflow (see SET REPORTBEHAVIOR). 3) Integration of Fox Foundation Classes (FFC) and example code. 4) Different behaving VFP functions (array functions are biggest issues in my experience, especially AFIELDS()). 5) New runtimes to deliver, might not be trivial depending on the seats you deliver and how you deploy changes. I would give it a try, but a full system test is recommended.

RE: Themed controls from VFPX -- anyone using them?
Not really easy, but I guess the help is better now. My problem was that the controls became out of date by the time I rolled anything out. You must have been working with the ThemedControls while they were in full stride development. I did too and that has settled down now.

RE: Themed controls from VFPX -- anyone using them?
The ThemedControls have been covered in FoxRockX in a series of articles on
VFPX. Subscription is less than $100
annually for electronic edition, and full set of past articles. Many sessions
at SWFox at the last few Southwest Fox
Conferences. {g}
Ribbon control in particular is not fully implemented. Emerson recommended the
ribbon control I am about to point you
to.
If you need a ribbon control I can recommend this one: http://www.arg.kirov.ru/
Documentation is a little sketchy, but it works great and looks nice and modern.

RE: Tip/code for fixing SetMemory issue on Vista/Win7 boxes where memory 2GB
Add this code to prevent it from going over 2GB: Sure you need an upper limit, but this should be for low memory machines, not heavy duty workstations. Mac Rubel proved many years ago (and written up in FoxPro Advisor Magazine) through extensive testing that using more memory is not better. You have to find the sweet spot, which can differ from app to app. I have found somewhere between 128MB and 256MB is a sweet spot for us if it is available. Grabbing all the memory flat out makes no sense to me no matter what the version of the OS, and how much memory is on the machine.

RE: [NF] CoffeeScript as a high level alternative to programming in Javascript
Well, I think Javascript can't be thought of as a mere scripting language any more, in fact the way Microsoft are going you might see HTMl5 and Javascript being brought forward and Silverlight etc quietly getting shoved aside. The Microsoft message on HTML5/Javascript vs. Silverlight is more confusing than anything I have seen come out of Microsoft's Developer Division in the last decade. I also believe this is purposely being done as well, and not a right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing. What Microsoft does not get though is this approach is driving developers away. Without developers their platforms are doomed. Most people understand the key is to learn from mistakes. Unfortunately, Microsoft seems to be focused on repeating them.

RE: [NF] CoffeeScript as a high level alternative to programming in Javascript
I think they are more sinister than just reactionary. They embrace, absorb/assimilate and overcome. Usually by their 2rd iteration they have it down to a usable product and because of the size of their crowd, they become the market. That doesn't really bother me, it's just all the turbulence that they and other vendors bring. You are generous with your 2nd iteration. I always feel it takes Microsoft three tries to get things right. As for the turbulence you mention, it not only affects the other vendors (sometimes positive, sometimes negative), but it is putting consulting and IT shops in a bad position, and in the case of more than a few, out of business. I have seen several consulting companies buy in 100% to some strategy and watched Microsoft throw it away. In the process the consulting company goes through bankruptcy because of the investment. Sad as this might be, this is something I believe the heads in Redmond never consider and do not care about. On the flip side, the people in the trenches at Microsoft who have formed the relationships with the community do care. Two sides of the beast. This is one reason I refuse to allow my company to be focused on only one customer, and why I refuse to invest into one future technology from one vendor.

RE: [NF] Firefox 5.0 gone black?
The only other times it's been rebooted was when I've had to move my cube/office to a new location. Even when I move my laptop to visit a customer or go away for the weekend, I hibernate it. I hibernate because I don't want to restart all the apps and get things rolling again when I turn the laptop back on. The rebooting time for Windows 7 on my 6-month old computer is really fast, maybe just as fast as coming out of hibernation. Nothing like the old days when you could take a 5 minute break waiting for the login screen.

RE: [NF] Questions on migrating VFP app
We are planning on a long term conversion, with our goal being to have the entire application suite converted by the 2015. While it is always great to get a customer with a long-term new project, I no longer look at them as a complete blessing. By 2015 Microsoft will introduce at least two or three technologies and have deprecated those and three others. I only wish I was making this stuff up. Unfortunately anything you pick today will be different by 2015 as four years is an eternity in our industry. The tools and languages you pick today will either be too mature to keep people's interest, or on the way to being too mature to keep their interest. I have talked with many .NET developers are already getting bored and many of them are looking toward Ruby as the new cool thing of late. Will Ruby keep their interest until 2015? I don't know. Developers had a tendency toward having ADD. Interestingly, recent public reports shows Microsoft has embraced JavaScript and HTML5 as their new development platform of choice for Windows 8. I am personally shocked by this decision since they have no control over either, and anyone who develops with them can do it without the need for Windows for development or deployment. Most developers are not going to program to Internet Explorer extensions these days when IE has lost the lead in market share. And lots of developers with .NET experience are feeling a *new* stinging sensation of abandonment and are questioning their loyalty. So what advantage does Microsoft have with this new platform? Sounds like somebody in the Windows division at Microsoft shot the company in the foot without consulting the Developer division. We live in interesting times.

Thanks, but that's not something that easily organized looking. I'm looking to have categories/sub-forums for each product and then the consumer can go there and grab the latest release or post comments about it. Different requirement as your original post asked about the latest/greatest simple forum. Joel Splosky and Jeff Atwood set out to change the way forums worked because traditional forums have many design flaws. The concepts they introduced with StackOverflow are being borrowed even by the likes of MSDN forums. So obviously they hit a good cord. My favorite feature is how answers get voted up and marked as the answer. Makes finding the solution faster for me, and saves me so much time not reading entire threads and solves the problem of thread drift, which is a big win when you need to get something out the door.

RE: Copyright for vfp code
The problem with hacking the form is that there is no guarantee the method you want is in the Methods column. It will only be there if there is code already in the method.

RE: visual foxpro 6 to mysql
One thing I seem to recall people talking about GoDaddy, is that there is a setting to allow for external connections to the MySQL database. Something needs to be turned on for that to work, if I recall correctly. Yes, the hosting account has to be on a server that has the ability to Allow Direct Database Access. They might have to move your hosting to another server to get this feature. It could take a couple of days to get it moved too. One other recommendation I have if you are using MySQL databases is to get a product like SQLyog Enterprise (~$80).

RE: VFP 2 MySql
you have to make a connection to an ODBC database and have scripts (select statements) to pull data back to VFP. You will also need update and insert scripts as well to save data. Not always true. Once you establish a connection you can make remote views. With remote views you USE to open the cursor, and to update and insert all you need is APPEND BLANK and REPLACE, with a common TABLEUPDATE(). VFP builds all the code to do the update in MySQL behind the scenes. Similar with CursorAdapters. Not everyone lives in the world of SQL Passthrough. And don't even think about pulling out some performance non-sense. It might have been true in the 1990s, but for standard CRUD operations a lot of the time they are so close humans cannot tell the difference.

RE: VFP 2 MySql
YMMV Definitely. I have been using a combination of remote view and SQL Passthrough for the last 16 years with much success. The problem with networking a DBC with remote views is not a problem when you copy it locally, or compile it in the EXE. The networking issue by the way is when VFP temporarily locks the DBC when it opens a remote view to get a frozen copy of the view definition. We solved this by copying the remote view DBC to a local temp folder. Never a problem after that. Solved more than a decade ago.

RE: VFP9 64bit SQL Server
I understand that VFP9 will run fine on it, but I have read of problems working with the 64 bit SQL Server tables. The biggest problem is making sure that you use the 32-bit driver. Most often the problem is noticed when someone sets up a DSN in the ODBC Manager, which is 64-bit. The VFP app cannot see the DSN because it is looking in the 32-bit registry entries. In this case you have to make sure to use the 32-bit ODBC Manager. As for using the database, once the connection is made it works fine. I have 64-bit machine and it is running SQL Server 2008 R2 and VFP accesses it all day long.

Southwest Fox and Southwest Xbase++ 2012
Save the dates for Southwest Fox and Southwest Xbase++ 2012! The conferences take place October 18-21, 2012. This year we have two conferences as one great event at the same location. Southwest Fox has always served Visual FoxPro developers an opportunity to learn and extend their skills, and network with fellow developers. Alaska Software is working on PolarFox, a product that keeps the Visual FoxPro language alive in their next generation tool. You get two conferences for the price of one! The conferences take place at the San Tan Elegante Conference and Reception Center, the same great location as last year. If you're interested in presenting at Southwest Fox 2012, please visit http://www.swfox.net/callforspeakers.aspx, read the complete Call for Speakers document (linked from that page), and download the proposal submission application.

RE: Southwest Fox and Southwest Xbase++ 2012
They seem to be targeting VFP people now, which surprises me as Xbase++ is nowhere near as complete as VFP (no report engine, no inline sql or views, poor designer/development tools, poor sql passthrough, limited visual controls, ...). Alaska Software is working on a transpiler to cover the entire Visual FoxPro language as well as forms, reports, classes, etc. They have quite a bit done and are working hard to ensure the Visual FoxPro language continues on despite Microsoft. They have a roadmap so you can understand their intent. Community Technology Preview (CTP) bits are available too. I also know the folks at Alaska are smart people and their intentions and efforts to date seem focused on the end goal. They also get community and how it works. They also have experience doing this with the Clipper community. There are several companies who are trying to get VFP developers attention right now. Alaska is in the group leading the pack and are doing it in a very visible way. The big advantage they have: developers don't have to throw everything away to learn a new language. All your source, experience and hard won knowledge carries forward to the new world. It is a compelling proposition and I hope they succeed in a big way.

RE: Multiple cursors returned from Stored Procedure
My stored procedure returns 6 cursors. Can the Fox handle getting multiple cursors back? Absolutely, straight from the SQLEXEC() entry in the VFP Help file: If the SQL statement generates one result set, SQLEXEC( ) stores the result set to the specified Visual FoxPro cursor. If the SQL statement generates two or more result sets, you can name each result set by setting the connection's BatchMode property to False (.F.) using the SQLSETPROP( ) function and changing the cursor name each time you call the SQLMORERESULTS( ) function. Otherwise, SQLEXEC( ) names each result set by appending sequential numbers to the name of the first one. SQLEXEC( ) is one of the four functions that you can execute either synchronously or asynchronously. The Asynchronous setting of SQLSETPROP( ) determines whether these functions execute synchronously or asynchronously. In asynchronous mode, you must call SQLEXEC( ) repeatedly until it returns a value other than 0 (still executing).

RE: Data Environment
Hi Dave, Does anyone know of an easy way to extract the data environment of a form into in-line code in the same way as when you convert a form into code from the object browser? Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, and it might not be perfect, but the ClassBrowserX on VFPX has four new export modes for code. They all handle the DataEnvironment, which the Class Browser has casually skipped for more than a decade and a half.

RE: Is this right?
Hi Dave, I've been running on Win7 64bit for nearly 2 years and haven't had any quirks or problems here at all with VFP9. In fact, as an O/S the 64bit is far superior, faster and can handle more tasks as it can use more installed memory. Agreed that the OS is superior. And pure VFP apps run fine. But there are a couple of gotchas with 64-bit OS that might stump someone new to it for a bit. 1) ODBC Manager creates 64-bit connections that VFP cannot see. Simple workaround is using the 32-bit ODBC Manager included with the OS. 2) FoxPro for DOS and Windows 2.6 need to run in virtualized machine. Works fine in XP Mode as long as you are not locking records with VFP on the host machine. Not common for most people, but there is a lot of FPD apps running out there still. Crazy, but true. 3) Potential for some ActiveX controls not to work in 64-bit environment. For instance, I used the standard ActiveX progress bar from a long time ago in a VFP 5 app. Worked fine until the 64-bit OS as it failed on decimal values for the percentage. 4) Not delivering VFP 9 with SP2 and latest hotfixes could pose some visual trouble on Areo. Not unique to 64-bit, but it could be first OS past XP. Simple to fix with latest SP2 and hotfixes. 5) Automation with the 64-bit Microsoft Office apps does not work. You need the Office Apps to be the 32-bit version, which work fine on the 64-bit OS. 6) Window's SystemWOW64 folder instead of the System32 folder can be a problem if you count on hardcoding the System32 folder looking for common DLL files. (All new spin on DLL Hell). Nothing is a showstopper, but things to watch out for when deploying. In Christina's particular situation, it depends on the compatibility with the QuickBooks API and how well it works in 32-bit on the 64-bit OS.

RE: lockng issues
REPLACE post_date WITH date() FOR post_date date() ALL in YourTableName Two comments: 1) REPLACE ALL places a header lock, where SCAN...ENDSCAN and REPLACE uses record locking 2) Depending on the time of the process (around midnight), it is entirely possible your use of DATE() could produce different dates using this one command. If all the dates being the same are important you should get the date to a memvar and use that in the replace.

It is my belief that conferences are for a lot of people, but not for everyone. Those who do not learn from listening to others speak might not benefit from the conference. If you don't learn things by reading a white paper you might consider skipping the conference. Those who do not benefit from networking should not come, after all it is like a forum or listserver or Twitter, but live and in HD. That bothers some people. If you prefer learning about vendor products by reviewing a Web site instead of talking to a sales person in person, then a conference might not be for you. If you prefer to eat alone, and not talk shop at every meal, then a conference is not really a good idea. On the other hand, if you want to learn more about your craft, hear of tools that integrate with your favorite development platform, expand your mind past your normal comfort zone, and meet like-minded people, there is a good chance Southwest Fox might be a perfect fit for you. Early-bird deadline has been extended until September 5th, so we can save you $50 for use on your bar/food bill when you are out networking with some of the finest people in our community. If you are going to sign up, I'd suggest learning to the FoxShow teaser interview with the SWFox organizers for a special offer. Just to be clear though, other than a handful of speakers who pop up here, very few people from ProFox come to Southwest Fox. I don't want you to come expecting to see all the regulars you see here on ProFox. But I see this as a big benefit too, as you get to expand the people you know from the Fox Community. Once thing is for certain, the people who come are really passionate about VFP and software development in general. I suspect you also will walk away with new ideas and energy unlike any you have felt before.

RE: Print Table Structure
Rick Schummer turned me on to Versatools years ago and I use it for printing file structures as well as locating text in a project. I use it constantly! I don't recall the recommendation, but glad it helped you. I use the tools in Data Explorer and Thor these days.

RE: Business of Software conference
Sounds neat, but I can't see spending nearly $1700 for this. You could go to 4 Fox conferences for that price! $1700 is scratching the surface. I've attended several BoS conferences including the 2012. Last year cost me: 1700 fee 550 flight 1000 hotel ($300+ per night) 150 food 90 taxi == 3450 cash Plus three normal work days out of the office, a Sunday afternoon traveling, and time away from family. Still, the return on investment from the BoS'es prior to 2012 were well worth the investment. I happen to agree with all of Christof's observations. Maybe it was because we sat next to each other during each of the sessions. In fact, several people from the Fox Community regularly attend BoS, which adds to the fun. My biggest complaint from last year was the lack of speaker concern for attendees by changing topics. Several of the topics I had on my list of reasons to attend were not given. Substituted on-the-fly at the last minute by the speakers. One put up to a vote against another topic and the speaker still gave the one he wanted instead of the one we voted for. A couple were more marketing of the speaker's business than providing insight into something you could learn from. Yet I still walked away with some great take-aways. Probably more from meal conversations than the speaker presentations. But that is the beauty of a conference.

2013 Ceil Silver Ambassador
The Ceil Silver Ambassador Fund brings a developer to the Southwest Fox conference as an ambassador for the developers in his or her country. This gives the recipient the opportunity to meet and share experiences with developers attending Southwest Fox and gives other attendees the opportunity to learn about VFP development in the recipient's country. The trip is paid for by the VFP community's donations to the Fund. We are looking for nominations from the VFP community for the 2013 recipient. The Ambassador selection committee consists of Southwest Fox organizers Rick Schummer, Tamar Granor, and Doug Hennig, former Ambassadors Emerson Santon Reed, Cesar Chalom, Bernard Bout, Borislav Borissov, and Jun Tangunan, and VFP community members Christof Wollenhaupt and Rick Bean. To nominate someone you think deserves to be selected, please email their name and a brief list of their contributions to the VFP community to ambassadorf...@swfox.net. Names must be submitted no later than May 31, 2013. In addition, we are looking for donations to allow us to pay for the travel costs for the ambassador. We urge you to consider donating any amount you see fit, small or large, to this fund. See http://www.swfox.net/ambassador.aspx for details. 100% of donated money goes to the travel costs for the ambassador. Not a single penny is used to cover administrative costs. All time managing the fund and working through the selection process is donated. No one is paid for their time.

RE: Grid Changes Over the Years
My suggestion is to start here: http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~VFPVersionBaseClassConcordance~VFP The Visual FoxPro Wiki Concordance pages are top gun as are the What's New books. And then there is try it out and see if it no longer is a bug process. For me, nothing like proof something works than to attempt it myself. g Instead of a broad question, how about something specific. Otherwise you are asking me to re-read Marcia's chapters and do research on all the grid changes. No one really has time unless it is going to impact their apps.

RE: SPACED OUT CAN MAKE LIFE A MISERY, WHY DOES IT HAPPEN
DOES ANY ONE KNOW OF A TOOL TO RUN THROUGH CODE AND OR DATA THE WILL FLAG CORRUPTIONS. You should look at Code Analyst on VFPX (http://vfpx.org). This tool lets you write scripts (VFP code) to analyze a line of code, or a method of code, or etc. You could look at the sample rules and easily write a simple script that will analyze the line of code and look for something like . and record the problem to the log.
