    Reports. Can Summary Band be made optional at runtime?

    There's a SUMMARY keyword in the REPORT FORM command to suppress the printing of Detail Band lines and only print the Summary, but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent to do the opposite (only print the Detail Band lines and suppress the printing of the Summary Band). So about the only way I...

    Cloud backup for VFP 9 application?

    Hi Tamar, I e-mailed Rick about CleverFox, but they don't offer re-branding, which is on our list of requirements. Hi Olaf, what you're suggesting sounds similar to a third-party solution that we've been researching. They offer a backup client allows re-branding, and it also allows you to...

    Cloud backup for VFP 9 application?

    The company I work for is interested in offering some kind of cloud backup solution to the users of our software. We'd want to keep it simple, and only backup the application and data files for our specific software application (written in Visual FoxPro SP2 and uses a VFP database). If possible...

    ASP.NET calls VFP COM object but the interop call doesn't create an object

    Have you verified that something isn't failing occasionally in the Init() of the VFP COM DLL that would cause the error to bubble up in your ASP.Net code? Are you doing any error-logging inside the VFP COM DLL? If not, that's where I would begin.

    Current state of opportunistic locking, SMB2, SMB3, & VFP?

    We've got a client who just set up a new Windows Server 2012 R2, applied all Windows updates, etc. and began doing some testing with several users working in the application. Workstations are all running Windows 10. We told them to not apply any changes for opportunistic locking. Right away...

    Current state of opportunistic locking, SMB2, SMB3, & VFP?

    Good point, Olaf. I probably should have said "That's definitely good information to know--assuming it's correct".

    Current state of opportunistic locking, SMB2, SMB3, & VFP?

    Wow, so according to that link, "...the old way of disabling it within the registry no longer works..." That's definitely good information to know.

    Current state of opportunistic locking, SMB2, SMB3, & VFP?

    It would appear that Microsoft did issue a hotfix, so I think it's safe to say they acknowledged it as being a bug: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2028965/data-corruption-when-multiple-users-perform-read-and-write-operations...

    Current state of opportunistic locking, SMB2, SMB3, & VFP?

    The app in question is written in VFP 9 SP2, but this problem isn't specific to VFP. It affects any ISAM-style file-server database where multiple users are updating the same shared files at the same time (in VFP's case, DBF and CDX files). It's technically a Windows issue rather than a VFP...

    Anyone used the ChilKat activex component for emails?

    Yes, I've been using it for a few years now, and I've been very pleased with it. It's been considerably more reliable and more configurable than wwIPSTUFF and/or CDO2000 for sending e-mail from a VFP application.

    Current state of opportunistic locking, SMB2, SMB3, & VFP?

    Can anyone confirm or deny if Microsoft ever fixed the problem with opportunistic locking/SMB2/SMB3 that made it necessary to apply a registry hack to the server and/or workstations to prevent table and index corruption with VFP and other file-server databases? In other words, are those of you...
