Here is a bit of code from our POS System, (saving bit) we run on Novell 4.11 Network sizes are 5-30 users Invoices 1,000-20,000 a day per site (35 sites) Is almost the same except we lock before appending is rare to loose transactions, only looses are if the site has a power cut or the server...

You could look at Foxpro for Unix running under linux, you could then centralise everything with telnet sessions into the main server, would require a few changes to your FPD App, We have had a play with it here, actually runs faster under linux/(sco emulation) than fpd (same hardware) kinda...

We do this with PhDbase (3rd Party index) Full Text Index/Seacrch Technology for Foxpro it creates it's own index, index is very fast. (altho is kinda slow to create) (well on a 386 anything is slow) PhDbase III Korenthal Associates (search for it on the web should be able to find it) it cost...

hmm, I think FPD can handle more than 16 megs, FPW 2.6 had the problem with 16 megs and above, not FPD. (well I run FPD under DOS! nothing else), can run it under NT, if I am to lazy to boot to dos.... Only thing I can think of it... maybe the app isn't in enchanced mode i.e. foxr...

Hi ya you may find that it is your port settings, we have the same problems with our POS system on some older equipment aka 386sx25's and alike, is normally fixed with (we use Dos 5.0,6.22) AUTOEXEC.BAT MODE COM1:9600,n,8,1 can change it down in speed to 300, altho the printer preforms...

in your shortcut or whatever you fire fox up with make sure you have a +X (to put it in Extended fox) i.e. FOX +X or FOXR +X NEWAPP.APP Hope it helps Zim

To Check to see if the network is still going.. I look for a file.. see if I can open it on the network drive... and have on the ON ERROR (do the bit for no network)... on my version, I had the app hooked into the autoexec.bat and call nibble.bat if the network failed... I changed the...

Damn, we have over 40 sites... running foxpro 2.5 for dos point of sale system, company's sales are 240 million or so would have.... 500-600 users all of head offices marketing/pricebook databases are all foxpro 2.6 for windows... some 2.5 for dos.... everything has been developed inhouse...

hmmm, only time I have ever had this happen was when I wasen't using enhanced mode... make sure you fire your apps up with foxr prog1.app +X or prog1.exe +X Otherswise your app (may)just be using your 610k memory! Have had it happen on one of our other sites... running a 386sx 25 with 4...

Ok, here is a bit of code out of our invoicing module for firing a cash draw... (foxpro for dos) Fires 2 Different ways.... If cm_getreg("POS") = "O" is firing though an OKIPos 80 Thermal receipt printer and the other is firing though a star receipt printer.. (star SP300's...

We kinda have the same problem here.... we use novell 4.2 servers, hardware ranging from 386sx25 4meg Ram to Celeron 500's 64megs, under foxpro for Dos 2.5b, (40 sites, retail enviroment) clients are VLM and Client32 we have 2 problems, one is where records disappear, (i.e. in a browse...

Darn, must be me or something, or i have been programming in Fox too long, but nothing takes me very long at all, have been programming in fox for 6 1/2 years, mostly maintaince, and a few new projects.... and have a HUGE code base! :) It did take a bit to get used to fox's screen sets and...

Just tried under Foxpro 2.6a for windows... have managed to get the dbf to 2 gigs.... with an index, after that.... Fox Die's..... haven't got any dos partitions > 2 gigs, to test how fpd will handle it, but I think it would be the same, fox will just stop. I would archive the data, or...

Check your memlimits in your config.fpw file you will probably find you are using over 16 megs memlimit=40,16000,16000 I have mine set to above, if I use anymore, It crashes when it "use's all the memory", I think I read a faq about it, something to do with fox's memory handling...

aaaahhh, your not printing on toliet paper then, ok... I have the KXP-P1124i Quick Reference Card if you want Can look for the manual if you want, (should have it somewhere, but don't really want to scan it all in) the only thing you could change will probably be the page length, we have it...
