We have customers that have bad networking software / settings. We've worked with their IT to try and get them squared away, but some customers just won't address it or can't seem to get it fixed. As such, we run into missing records not in index (but they are in the table) on a regular basis...

Does anybody know how to add an access method to the _vfp.ServerName property? I'm willing to go with a C-based FLL solution if required. Thank you in advance! -- Rick C. Hodgin

Concept: * For any container object: lo = this.AddGroup("input", this.txtDate, this.txtDesc, this.txtQty, this.txtAmt) * Access as the returned object lo.BackColor = RGB(255,255,128) WAIT WINDOW "Pausing..." * Or as the object off its parent, by name this.input.BackColor = RGB(255,255,128)...

Microsoft killing VFP is the greatest crime in (non-illegal) software. VFP could've been extended to incorporate networking features and been the absolute de facto standard and system to go to for all business apps. I will never forgive Microsoft for what they did there. -- Rick C. Hodgin

Does anyone want to work on creating a virtual machine from scratch? One with a custom ISA? -- Rick C. Hodgin

One thing I started doing a couple years back, was to modify my startup.prg to include some code which loaded the _screen.Picture from a folder that I had. I would get the ADIR() of all the JPG or PNG images, and then randomly select one based on an algorithm using SECONDS(). The images I had...

Answers: 1. GIMP is typically 32-bit internally. You can look at the file format of the XCF to see how it stores things. However, it depends on how your layers are defined. 2. I don't know. I've never used GIMP for anything other than image manipulation, not capturing. 3. GIMP has a...

A couple questions: 1. Are there any C developers here, and if so what is your skill level? 2. Does anybody still work in C in their daily job? I do most of my C coding in a C++ compiler. It has a little tighter type checking, and some relaxed syntax. It also allows for some C++ features...

In order to change BIOS you need to have a BIOS image. If you have that, you can alter its contents and then flash the BIOS. Note, this is not a normal thing to do and is subject to all kinds of potential issues. If you want to change just the boot sector so it displays a different message...

I do not see the advantage of Kotlin over Java save in the area of licensing. I actually think Kotlin is a less structured, less well thought out language. [UPDATE: I should clarify that statement. Kotlin seems to be concerned about user code authoring. Many of the things Kotlin does can be...

In the last many years, I have primarily used Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2015, 2017, and most recently 2019. All of them are adequate for doing what I do. I prefer Visual Studio 2008 because it's offline, and modern enough it works like a charm. However, I've recently had occasion to...

I came across this old thread that hadn't been answered: thread272-1806629 The equation is a constant, so it's just plugging in hard numbers. Using Visual Studio 98, and an assembly block, you can see the code here. Note: The FPU operates using a stack. It's been designed for this type of...

I posted this in dBASE, but I thought I would post it here too in case any aging VFP developers like myself ever used dBASE back in the day and came across .FIL files. Maybe there's someone who has some idea on how to process the? I've tried dBASE II and dBASE III+. Nothing seems to recognize...

Does anyone have file spec information on .FIL files? I have received a data set from someone using what I'm told is an old dBASE app. It is a large number of .FIL files. In examining these files internally in a hex editor, I can see they have a defined header structure similar to a DBF file...
