As I already wrote it: No, you don't download a hacked version of VFP9. You download a patcher, which copies your already installed VFP9 into a new directory, and then patches the various bugs. All patches are documented, and you could easily do a diff on the original and the patched version.

AW: How common is Table Buffering with DBFs??

Table buffering is very common. Basically all frameworks are using it. Can't do any decent multiuser handling without it. Yes you could do a simplier record-buffering mode, but as soon as you are faced with the typical 1:n editform, then you would need to have tablebuffering anyway.

AW: So, about this VFPA thing...

DBFs aren't unstable. In contrary they are one of the most stable storage options we have. Simple structure, easy to read and write, fast access. As long as you use them locally, there's no better engine. And that's why ADS is stil using them: they have a pure local access with their C/S engine.

My recommended AnyDesk is very similar to Teamviewer, with similar capabilities (like compressed delta datatransfer etc), but only 1/3 of pricing. They also have a free version. wOOdy -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: ProFox Im Auftrag von MB Software Solutions, LLC Gesendet: Mittwoch,

AW: Nostalgia -- updating an app written 15+ years ago

Oh you whiners... I'm still actively coding in VFP. And currently I have to maintain an app which was originally coded in 1998, then continuously updated up to VFP9, but lots of code fragments are from earlier versions. The original programmer died last year because of a heartattack, thus

In the VALID Event of that offending control: RETURN 0 Which means: don't move the focus from that control. If several controls together can do harm to the page control, just disable all other pages. That's the equivalent of a modal page :) FOR EACH oPage IN Pageframe.pages

AW: 64-bit app via the Chen version

You are correct, there is no reason to have a 64bit FoxPro application for a regular Desktop app. It is different for building the middle-tier of a distributed app or a Webserver extension. But on a regular desktop you gain nothing, but inherit a lot of problems: No support for regular 32bit
