    Simple VFP App to reimplement in Android... anyone got any advice...

    I don't develop much new stuff these days, but I have thrown together a simple app to help myself exercise my hand after a recent procedure. One form, two buttons and a few labels... thinking it would be a really good first app for Android. I think I need some kind of on-line course in Android...

    wwIPstuff - Ionos not accepting Date: header value

    I have a customer who uses West Wind utilities to send out emails to suppliers for prices. Two suppliers have ceased receiving their emails, both are using Ionos to handle their emails and I think they are being rejected because of the Date: header is not acceptable. Has anyone else come...

    Not Strictly VFP - Cracking Password on Excel Spreadsheet

    Sorry for the departure from the theme, but I'm sure we all generate spreadsheets and feel the need to password protect them from time to time, so hopefully no one will object. B-) My wife had such a sheet, after a year or so she had completely forgotten the password and it became 'important'...

    Windows 11 - any problems noted?

    I just upgraded my lappie to W11, thinking that customers will be pushed to do so soon - as with W10, and not wanting any unforeseen issues to bite me! I cannot see anything life threatening... any gotchas I should be looking for? like the fix for general fields required in W10?

    Grid, highlighted row, would like cell to remain highlighted if clicked in...

    Having a brain freeze or senior moment I think. I have a form with a grid, the user likes that the currently selected record/row is highlighted but would also like that same highlighting on a cell if the user clicks in it. At the moment it changes so the background is white. I've been playing...

    ADIR and zip folders...

    Just had an interesting experience where I couldn't create a folder because ADIR recognises zip archives as folders... m.dirs = ADIR(tmpdirs,"d:\$incoming\*.*","D") Will include d:\$incoming\E7895.zip - even with the "D" flag set. So my app is looking for an existing folder starting with...

    Wouldn't it be nice... i++ in VFP

    I think Alaska xBase++ supports the C style increment/decrement... It would have been nice to have that... I've just been inserting columns into a wide excel spreadsheet and having to manually increment the indexes to the column number (because this was not anticipated in my original design - I...

    Another thing with VFP Advanced... 64bit

    I have been using WestWind products for a long, long time, for HTTP and Mail. They don't work so well with the 64bit version of VFPa, Rick supports them (ish) on the 32bit version. So just now I have had to resort to an old command line utility called MailSend. Regards Griff Keep [Smile]ing...

    Follow up, XFRX speed and support.

    I recently posted as to whether or not anyone knew if the latest versions of XFRX were faster than the version I was running (19ish). To follow up on this I can say there is a significant improvement on the hardware I'm using for the job in hand, I can meet my deadline of processing within a...

    Does VFPA have a 64bit VFPOLEDB or equivalent by any chance

    I would be very interested in that... I use the 32bit VFPOLEDB extensively. ** edit ** I noticed on the long strings thread that the screenshot from a user included a caption Visual Foxpro Advanced Regards Griff Keep [Smile]ing There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who understand...

    STRTOFILE() Large Files not written out

    I use an included table in many of my applications, in there I store binary files that may be useful at runtime, documents, .dlls, executables, anything I need after the install. I search the table, find the binary and use STRTOFILE(binaries.binary,m.Filename) to drop them where required...

    VFP6... GETDIR() and hidden folders

    Just been dealing with a little support issue on a, very, remote system - nearer to MikeL than me - an old app written in VFP6 (Started in 2002!). User retiring, new user, new laptop, WFH, Windows 11... trying to locate the Sage Accounts data so that customers can be read directly from there...

    Best way to remove the trailing comma (or whatever) from a string?

    Curiosity getting the better of me... and knowing I won't be roasted by the current community... I hope. B-) Assuming we have assembled a string like "1234,123,198,678," what are your favourite ways to remove the trailing comma? m.STRING = LEFT(m.STRING,LEN(m.STRING)-1) Is ok if you are...

    Look out for Ltd Co. Confirmation Statement Scam Letters...

    I received a letter this morning, looked exactly like the HMRC one that also arrived, same envelope, same fonts etc. So, I casually thought it was genuine... opened it and it was a reminder to file my confirmation statement, which I was about to anyway. It has QR codes on it to make the process...
