Many thanks! I tried that and it failed but a bit more research showed me I

CDO Email
About 12 years ago I wrote a membership program for a local charity in VFP. It
has continued to work with the odd tweak ever since. It uses Microsoft CDO to
send emails – I know CDO is obsolete, so is VFP but it works! . The code is
below, cribbed from SweetPotatoSoftware many years ago:
lcSchema = http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/
loConfig = CREATEOBJECT("CDO.Configuration")
WITH loConfig.FIELDS
.ITEM(lcSchema + "smtpserver") = "smtp.ionos.co.uk"
.ITEM(lcSchema + "smtpserverport") = 587
.ITEM(lcSchema + "sendusing") = 2
.ITEM(lcSchema + "smtpauthenticate") = .T.
.ITEM(lcSchema + "smtpusessl") = .F.
.ITEM(lcSchema + "sendusername") = lcUserName
.ITEM(lcSchema + "sendpassword") = lcPassword
.UPDATE
ENDWITH
I have been advised by our email provider that we must upgrade to TLS 1.2. I
had hoped that it would be as simple as changing usessl to True but that
doesn’t appear to be the case. I am out of my depth having been away from
serious programming for many years. Any help or suggestions would be
gratefully received!

M$ 365 Defender
A friend has been offered Microsoft 365 Defender and asked my advice. From what I can see it is a souped-up version of Defender only available to Enterprise clients or on payment of $5 per month - is this correct?

RE: [NF] What if...?
This discussion reminded me of a language spec I was sent some years ago. I reproduce it for your edification and interest: We have just become the Value Abandoned Reseller for the new programming language C+-, which can only be used by programmers with at least three years C+- experience thus ensuring an immediate skills shortage. A government minister has already booked her first-class ticket to a foreign country where sufficient guile is thought to exist to make up for this shortage before the general election. The new fast track visa scheme will be extended to include illegal immigrants who may have heard of C+- on their way through Europe to the UK. C+- (pronounced ‘C More or Less’) is a subject-oriented language. Each C+- class instance, known as a subject, holds hidden members, known as prejudices, agendas or undeclared preferences, which are impervious to outside messages; as well as public members, known as boasts or claims. C+- is an innovation-neutral buzzword-compliant language developed by Nanosoft in a hurry for maximum user lock-in. It comes with its own methodology known as Subject-Oriented Development in Information Technology or SODIT for short. C+- has pointer oppression and extensive coercions to help cure programmers of their unhealthy propensity for creative thinking. Multithreading is encouraged for maximum entanglement so that programs run slow enough to facilitate debugging of the flawed design during project overruns. For obvious reasons, C+- will not work with any forking kernel, least of all Linux. C+- supports information hiding so successfully that data may never be found again. And it has automatic garbage collection twice a week, although garbage may be distributed if the Xmas bit is set to ungenerous mode. The following C operators are overridden as shown: > better than < worse than >> way better than << forget it ! not on your life * any which way ~ sometimes ?: rhetorical question += more equal than == comparable (ceteris paribus) !== get a life -> blame allocator sizeof doesn’t matter C+- is strongly typed, based on stereotyping and self-righteous logic. The Boolean variables TRUE and FALSE (known as constants in other, less realistic languages) are supplemented with CREDIBLE and DUBIOUS. All Booleans can be declared with the modifiers strong and weak. Weak implication is said to “preserve deniability” and was added at US government insistence. What-if, why-not and so-what expressions are aided by the special conditional EVENIFNOT X THEN Y. The methodology promotes the Mongolian Hordes approach whereby many junior staff are thrown at a project until it achieves critical mass, a bit like the Manhattan project. New staff should ‘hit the ground running’ because moving targets are more difficult to hit. ‘Team-players’ are recommended because weak members will be carried by the others and, in any case, ‘original-thinkers’ undermine the self-esteem of managers. It should be noted that all other methodologies are just as good -- any ‘ology’ is guaranteed to make up for poor planning and lack of leadership.

RE: Networking Linux and Windows
Hi Ted Many thanks for your help. I bought an electronics kit with the Pi to play with. My son has a classic car, an old Jaguar, which he cossets. When he heard what I was doing he set me the task of producing something he could run on a Pi Zero to control the humidity in his garage. I had to learn Python to do it which made me appreciate FoxPro - Python can be a very strange beast at times I've got that part working - at least, it does when he puts the right version of Python on his Zero! I'm now working on getting the output data into a SQLite database to drive an analysis program and produce graphical output to go on his web server, a Pi 1. Great fun but frustrating at times. His next project is to attach an infra-red camera which he has bought for £9 - if it works I think I will get one. This project has lead me down so many new and fascinating alleys that I am spoilt for choice, there aren't enough hours in the day!

I've got two RaspPis, a Linux server, a Linux laptop (my main machine), 4 windows machines, a wired laser printer, a wired inkjet printer and two Android phones sharing the wifi and wired network. One RaspPi serves as the local DNS, VPN node and file server (with an external USB 1 Tb drive) and PiHole DNS (blocking ads, spam and malware). The second RaspPi is breadboarded-up for programming experiments: mostly blinking LEDs so far. Linux machines can share files with a Windows network by running the Samba server (https://magpi.raspberrypi.org/articles/samba-file-server and https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/remote-access/samba.md) and can consume files that are shared on the Windows network or printers that are accessible through a network interface (highly recommended!) or a Windows share. The best way to start working with a RaspPi is with a keyboard, mouse and screen attached, but once you start to get a hang of "The Linux Way," it can be run and administered remotely via ssh (PuTTY or the equivalent on Windows) and/or VNC to access the desktop interface. And/or you cy.an set up a web server on the RaspPi and interact with it that way. So, there's many ways to get connected. Let me know what you are considering and I'll try to point you towards resources.

The code below I have run since years ago when I got it from Dave Crozier here

.NULL. Your thoughts as to what it might be? He's got IE11 on his machine. I
went into IE11 and it works fine.

RE: Office automation using VFP 10 64-bit version
Interesting! I have, AFAIK, the latest Office 365 running on Win 10 1909 and
mine shows Microsoft Outlook for Office
365 MSO (16.0.12624.20422) 32-bit.
Curiouser and curiouser.

Subject: Re: Office automation using VFP 10 64-bit version
- In Outlook, I went to File, then Office Account, then clicked "About Outlook"
- Near the top of the resulting screen I saw "Microsoft Outlook for Office
365 MSO (16.0.11929.20618) 64-bit" (and of course there were "TM"s spread
around in that string).
- Then I went to VFP and opened up the code I had used a while back. The
'basic' design of it is as follows:
oOutlook = CREATEOBJECT('outlook.application')
...
oMsg = oOutlook.CreateItem(0)
oMsg.to =
oMsg.from =
oMsg.subject =
oMsg.htmlbody =
*-- maybe there was another step or two - but you get the gist
*-- then actually sent the message.
oMsg.send()
I did the above this past Friday (4/17/2020) - grabbing out some of that code
and ran lines of it from the VFP command prompt (the actual code would have
sent out about 100 emails for a 'crisis' situation that did not exist so I did
not want to trigger that - heh). But the email I created with the above process
was sent and delivered (to myself at a couple different email addresses I
have). According to the "About" VFP - I am using VFP SP2, version
09.00..5815.
Of course, this was ONLY Outlook. It was not Word, Excel, or Powerpoint.
But it does clearly call itself 64-bit. Now based on MS's past behavior I
certainly do not expect them to be honest. But trying to deceive at this level
would seem a little ridiculous even for them.
I will add that I do not know if we perhaps started with 32-bit Office at one
point and then migrated to 365 64-bit. This particular PC was set up about 11
months ago. And given MS's poor history of cleaning up after itself, there may
be 32-bit libraries hanging around.
Note that I have installed 32-bit MS SQL ODBC drivers on the machine. I kind of
doubt that would have an impact, but its hard to tell without a lot of
library-calls tracking work (which I do not feel like doing...).
I have some Powerpoint automation code around here somewhere. Maybe I'll give
that a try too.
But the thing that started this whole thread was whether or not the "VFP 10"
(64bit VFP?) version would be able to do automation into "64bit" Office stuff.
So even if my 32-bit example is 'magic' are we still thinking the 64bit VFP
would not work with 64bit Office?
Maybe it would be worth sharing/creating several code samples that we have used
for 'Office automation', store them somewhere, and then use those as a
quick-test set for any new VFP release or compatible product...

Subject: Easiest/best way to create an email using local MS Outlook with file
attachments?
VFP9SP2 app
Customer uses Outlook and wants the app to generate an email to a given email
address from the app AND attach certain documents to it. Customer will preview
it and then manually hit "Send" on their own.
What's the BEST (and hopefully easiest) way to implement this? Invoke Outlook
via CREATEOBJECT and set properties and attachments accordingly? Typically in
the past I've used MAILTO and ShellExec but this time the extra requirement is
to have files attached from the application too, which makes MAILTO not an
option, if I understand correctly.

RE: false news....
Thanks Ted, that explains it well. We have a similar number, the National Insurance Number, which is unique and is not considered 'secret' at least as far as I am aware, but that is random and includes a check digit. I don't think I would use it as it is too cumbersome. I know what you mean about marking kit, fortunately when I went through basic training we didn't have to do that but I still have a boot brush with a relative's service number carved in it from when he did National Service (conscription) that I inherited. John John Weller 01380 723235 07976 393631 John: There's a couple of issues with using SSNs. Technically, they are not unique. Several people have received duplicate numbers, so they're not ideal primary keys. Second, they are considered "secret" Personally Identifiable Information (often PII) and disclosure of such information can be a considered a data breach, leaving you liable to state, local, federal and international laws (like GDPR) requiring you to provide disclosure, notification and possible liability. They're also pretty easy to guess. The first two designates the state of birth, easy to find, the last four and printed on FAR too many documents, and the three in the middle were issued chronologically, so knowing a birthdate narrows the guessing down by far. When I was in bootcamp in 1979, they gave us all stencils and required us to have our name and service number, also our SSN on the hundreds of pieces of uniform and gear we were issued. I've still got a few in my basement and attic.

RE: false news....
Purely out of curiosity and not being familiar with your SSNs (Social Security Numbers I assume) can I ask what is the problem with using them as a PK?

Re: [NF] Simple web Design Tool
Many thanks to all who responded - I’m constantly amazed by the breadth of knowledge and willingness to help in the Profox community. I don’t think I made myself sufficiently clear in my original post, I’m looking for a tool which will enable me to edit and update existing sites created with Front Page, not necessarily free but certainly low-cost. It appears that Amaya or Kompozer will probably do the job. I will investigate further, however the discussion on Wordpress has inspired me to re-write these sites using Wordpress in the fullness of time when I have finally got my head round the Mac :-) Thanks again John John Weller 01380 723235 07976393631 --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/3fb5a4fe-d96b-431c-a5c9-5652332e8...@johnweller.co.uk ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

[NF] Simple web Design Tool
I have built and maintain a few very simple websites for some one-man businesses and local charities using Front Page 2003. I have now moved over to a Mac with Win 10 on Bootcamp (when it works - Win 10 sucks!) but would like to use a suitable Mac product. I know there are some Mac users out there :-). Can anyone recommend a very simple web design software similar to Front Page, ideally low-cost as I don’t make any money out of these websites.

RE: VFP in Windows on a Mac
Hi Dave I've now bought an iMac. I was going to get a used one but was tempted and now have a new one - very impressed but already had one casualty - my printer scanner won't work properly which is a shame, it'll scan but not preview. I looked at Fusion when Christof mentioned it but when I saw Price on Application I knew it would be too expensive for my simple needs John John Weller 01380 723235 07976393631 -Original Message- From: ProfoxTech On Behalf Of Dave Crozier Sent: 25 June 2018 10:15 To: profoxt...@leafe.com Subject: RE: VFP in Windows on a Mac John, Been using Mac here as laptop solution for 5 years now using Fusion FX (Basically VMWare Workstation) and never had any problems. The Fusion runs much quicker on the Macbook Pro (3 years old I7 with 16Gb) than native on my other laptop (Dell) and security/rollback is a cinch as I have automatic snapshots in Fusion for exactly the reason(s) you stated. I would never go back to a native windows laptop again apart from the SurfacePro which I find excellent for graphical work which Fusion FX isn't particularly strong on due to video card emulation which is not top end graphics. As for MacOSX it is simple and very intuitive and now I miss many of the touchpad swipe options available on the Mac when I occasionally move back to the Windows laptop. - hence buying a Logitech T650 touchpad which is almost as good as but not quite there! If you want to dabble in Linux/Unix/Xenix then the Mac is a really stable tool to learn on even though you really don't have to be proficient in command line antics if you don't want. In my experience, the only thing missing on the Macbook is a touch screen or stylus which will hopefully be remedied by the time I come to upgrade.

It can't be any worse than the nightmare I've just had installing the latest update for Windows. My wife's laptop had to go to a repair shop to get the BIOS fixed after the update trashed it.
