RE: VFP Service
An age ago, I researched, and wrote an FLL to allow a VFP program to become
a service.
VFP is not multithreaded, so having multiple things attempt to access it
didn't work out for me.
I changed it to be a C# service that uses multiple instances of a VFP COM
object.
A service is a nice idea, it can run even when a user hasn't logged in to
the system. It can be installed through an installer.
A scheduled task, does a lot of the same things. I don't know that it can be
setup via an installer.
For an in house project I have the network admin setup a scheduled task.
For production products we ship, it's C#.
YMMV,
Tracy

Hi All
In the past I have followed this article

Does anyone have any advice about how to approach this on Server 2016 as I

Different strokes for different folks. I tend to use them both ways - as is, if they are suitable - and if not entirely suitable then, as you say, as a starting point for developing my own class. We will obviously never agree on my original complaint but it has been an interesting exchange and I thank you again for going to the trouble of helping to find the solution Best regards Paul Newton ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

RE: VFP Service Pack 2
I think Rick has a point. I once used the foundation class to write a fairly simple app, and it was a learning experience. I learned that you should only use those to steal code from! John = Rick Thank you for your comprehensive (I think that's the word) reply. By the time I received it I had already solved the problem (in about 10 minutes ) I still feel sorry for the VFP neophyte(s) who may have come across the problem and probably would have had some difficulty in solving it.

As a software developer you should really understand the need for determining the exact steps to reproduce.

You should also know this is an impractical possibility. You should know that even the most critical of core software running on your machine is not perfect. And people who write code should know better than to throw stones at other developers because they found a bug in their code. Life does not work that way. Unfortunately humans write the code and humans are imperfect. My clients know I am human and I make mistakes. They also know I take responsibility and fix my mistakes when they happen. I don't pretend to know it all, I don't pretend to do everything the correct way. Fortunately this is not a core EXE function or problem. This can be fixed. This fix is easy and you have everything you need to fix it. I don't know you Paul. Are you a software developer? Most (obviously not ALL) software developers could have taken the 15 minutes to figure this out. I timed it. Even after fighting through your missing steps this took me less than 15 minutes. The email back too longer. If you want this fixed follow my instructions: 1) Open up the _TableMover class in the Class Designer (you can use the Class Browser, Component Gallery, ToolBox, or Command Window to do so, use whatever method is your preference). 2) Open up the OpenTable method in the code editor. 3) Find all three lines of code with ASCAN(). 4) On each of these lines the last two parameters (1, 3) are not necessary. You can remove them from all three lines of code with the ASCAN(). I'll let you do the editing to your coding standards. I would ship you the code, but you might learn more by editing the code yourself. Test, debug if necessary, repeat. This is the great thing about Fox, you have all the tools and source to fix the FFC and Solution Sample classes. >>Maybe if they called them "sample classes", or "tutorial classes" or whatever I wouldn't be so miffed. But "foundation" classes are surely something on which you can, or should be able to, build. That's what foundations are !<< You surely have the right to be miffed. But I look at it differently. I look at this as a learning opportunity. Most FoxPro developers I know look toward the foundation as a starting base for ideas and then build their own classes. I know it is easy to consider the FFC and the provided framework as the complete tool to build applications, but the fact is, most of the developers I know see it only as a learning tool to gain a better understanding of how VFP works.

RE: VFP Service Pack 2
Hi Rick, Many thanks for that. I now realise I was confusing SP2 and Sedna. I know Sedna has some enhancements and assumed that SP2 and Sedna were the same thing, obviously not! Doh!!! I'll send out new runtimes to my clients when I next send them a mod, fortunately (or unfortunately) I don't have many . Thanks again.

RE: VFP Service Pack 2
John, >> I've seen the bug list that SP2 fixes but does it give any new features?<< Most service packs only fix bugs. They normally do not introduce features. The Fox Team has been a huge violator of this principle in the past, which may be the cause of your frustration with this service pack. If you read anything posted by Microsoft on the topic of VFP 9 SP2 you would know that the goal was to kill as many issues as possible, and from the Microsoft perspective the core product is feature complete. The release of Sedna does include numerous enhancements and features to VFP 9. This is expected to ship real soon now. There are also some enhancements to the Report Designer and the extensibility included in the VFP 9 SP2 release (just to show you the Fox Team is still up to their own tricks again). If you want to learn more about the changes head over to Spacefold.com and look for Lisa Slater Nichols and Colin Nichol's screen cast video on the topic. As to releasing a VFP app without synchronized run-times: when was this ever a good idea? If you want the app to perform the same in the run-time environment as it does in the development environment - then you should synchronize the run-times. Otherwise release at your own risk and at the risk of ticking off your customers. The new run-times have all the new fixes released in the service pack.
