Hello Foxpro for DOS gods. Me again. I believe that I've resolved some of my missing files issues. I've resolved some of the coding issues as well. I'm at the point where I'm building the project and ... no APP file is created. I'm no longer getting the MyApp.err file, but no MyApp.app

Re: FoxproDOS - No APP after BUILD APP

Hello Richard, I *used* to have the err file when there were errors in the (decompiled) code. I'm able to run the BUILD process without getting a MyApp.err file now but I'm not getting a MyApp.app file at the end of the process. On 03/26/2015 03:29 PM, Richard Kaye wrote: What's in the

Re: FoxproDOS - No APP after BUILD APP

Thanks for helping Virgil. I've done a SET DEFAULT TO C:\MyAppDir. I'm wondering if [A] I don't have a full Foxpro 2.6 DOS installation and it is silently failing [B] This has something to do with DosBox. Unfortunately I only have Win 7 64bit and Win 8.1 64bit in VirtualBox VMs which don't

FoxproDOS - Cannot find the transport program.

Hello all Foxpro for DOS gods! Me again. I'm rolling up my sleeves in earnest to get this Foxpro DOS app rebuilt. I believe that the original program was compiled in Foxpro 2.0 but I've only got Foxpro 2.6 running in DosBox on my Linux Mint machine. Clear as mud? When I attempt to open my

Are the projects theapp.pjx and theapp.pjt? I've fully forgotten. Thanks Ted. On 03/19/2015 09:53 AM, Ted Roche wrote: Yeah, I've thrown out a lot of those books, too, and the memory ain't what it used to be. According to Using FoxPro 2.5 for DOS by Slater Arnott (with help from Gotthelf

Foxpro DOS - How to build an APP

I have a new client that has a Foxpro 2.0 for DOS app that they've been running for decades. They've had some fits and starts on upgrading it to Visual Foxpro. I hope I'll be able to finish the upgrade. They have one small adjustment they want to their existing app. Basically they want to

Re: Truncated Decimal Digits

Is there a person or a place that the (open sourced) VFP help is being maintained? That'd be awesome to be able to enhance the help system with updated or clarified information, plus adding more or better examples? I'm a long time fan of the Fox Wiki but some pages are getting unweildy with

Another vote for TwoFox to convert to-and-from VCX and SCX based files. I've been using https://bitbucket.org/ for storing my projects. BitBucket can use Git and Mercurial. I like Mercurial better, but Git is much more popular by usage so I use Git. I use Smart Git Hg (

[NF] Xojo Source Control ( was Re: Source Code Version Control )

Yes, I use BitBucket more with Xojo projects than I do VFP projects to be honest. That's where more of my new development efforts are. For the free version of Xojo, you can only save the project in binary format which is *not* source control friendly. When you purchase a license however, the
