Agreed 1000% that using local data for reporting is fastest in VFP apps, for sure.  I had written some code awhile (back but didn't yet finish) that would pull data locally if the checksum of the MariaDB table had changed, and then I'd using the max(timestamp) field on the local VFP table to

For me, I've done kind of the opposite. In other words, I'll connect to a SQL DB, Postgres, Oracle, whatever, download the whole database to VFP, read info from the information_schema stuff, recreate indexes, etc. Then work with the data in the local VFP DB for analysis and so forth. So it's not

Technically, what VPA is doing is actually not intended by its owner, MS. So I think the term hack does apply. If it were an open source tool, then I would say it would not be a hack. Like others have said, the work 'hack' draws out negative connotations (for us developers). But consider other

Yes that is one solution. You van also install VFPA in a separate directory, not in the same as VFP9. One can than decide to construct the pjx either in VFP9 or VFPA. Deployment of an exe built under VFPA: mr. Chen published a document How-to-Do Rgds Koen Op za 23 nov. 2019 om 12:32 schreef MB
