    Access VFP Tables on Linux?

    Hi folks, It's been a while, but this seems like the best place to get a fresh answer to an old question: How can I access my VFP data on a Linux server? My Linux server is running Debian 9, Apache 2, PHP 7, MariaDB, and ODBC. I have a legacy Foxpro 7 application that I am trying to migrate...

    VFP 7 and Windows 7/8 compatibility issues...

    Sorry if this is redundant. I discovered that I posted to the wrong forum for this version of Foxpro. ------------------- O.K. You can tell me I've been living in denial, but I now have a significant problem that I'm hoping some folks here can shed some light on. I've read here and other...

    VFP 7 and Windows 7/8 compatibility issues...

    O.K. You can tell me I've been living in denial, but I now have a significant problem that I'm hoping some folks here can shed some light on. I've read here and other places that VFP9 is the only version compatible with Windows 7 and 8. I've been looking for ways to get VFP9. There seem to be...

    How to test ASP parameters in VFP components

    I've been doing a fair amount of work calling VFP components in traditional ASP web applications. One thing I keep running up against is the need to pass the ASP components (Request, Response, and Session) as parameters to my VFP components. Passing the parameters is not a problem. The...

    COM Surrogate Error?

    I'm running a Windows 2003 server with IIS6 and VFP7. Some of the regulars here may recall that I have a VFP7 COM-based web application running in this environment. The application is installed as a COM+ component--primarily for security purposes. With increasing frequency, I am getting a...

    Migration from VFP to MariaDB

    I've been a dedicated VFP developer for 23 years. It's clear to me, however, that with the introduction of 64-bit machines and Windows, a new platform is needed for the work I do. I know there has been a lot of discussion over the last several years about the plight of VFP. I'm not interested...

    Trapping an untrappable error

    Hi folks, I'm at that point, once again, where I seem to be at the end of my bag of trick and could use some new ideas. I have a nagging "Datatype Mismatch" error that shows up under very specific conditions in my application. The error seems to have no consequence. Ignoring it allows the...

    VFP 7 application on Windows 7?

    thread184-1261943 I have a long-running VFP 7 application and have several users migrating to Windows 7 & 8. Running the application on a single system doesn't seem to be a problem. One long-time user, however, is using it with the data on a Windows Small Business Server 2011. Most of their...

    Interface problem with custom VFP COM component...

    Hi folks, I have already posted this problem on the ASP forum: thread333-1688356 The problem appeared when I attempted to incorporate a new method in my component--which is being used in a web application. I am at the point where I have verified that the problem is not with ASP or IIS. I've...

    error '80004005' on a new method call

    Once again, after several days of troubleshooting, I throw myself at the mercy of the gurus on this forum. I confess that I am not sure where to post this problem, but since it shows up in my ASP application, I'll start here. I have a component application implemented in Visual Foxpro 7 and...

    msxml3.dll error '80070005' Access is denied.

    I've been researching this problem for days now and am no closer to a resolution. I've searched for solutions on this forum and others, but most do not seem to apply, or the recommended solution had no effect. I hope someone here can help. This is a simple call to MSXML.TransformNode()...

    Trouble accessing COM object from global.asa

    Hi folks, I started the following thread some time ago. http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1466590&page=1 I am in the process of moving to a new server and have exactly the same problem. IUSR and IWAM have already been added to the COM+ Creator/Owner role. Now what? JEEPXO! Where...

    Grid displays the same values for ALL records.

    I'm working in VFP7 on sub-classing a grid to make it easier to dynamically assign a new table to grid's RecordSource without losing all of my column settings. I'm following the basic outline seen in several articles--some on this forum. i.e. Save your column properties somewhere Set...

    Exactly what is in that 4 byte memo field in the DBF?

    Hi, I'm trying to recover data from a corrupt memo file. The FPT file is bloated (1.5Gb). I've tried packing...no good. Now I can still open the table in Foxpro 7. When I navigate to troublesome memo fields, I get a Fatal Error and get kicked out of Foxpro. However, most of the records are...

    Vista issue? Database is not being updated.

    Hi, Once again I am turning to this forum for possible answers to a complicated situation. I have a VFP application that I have supported and reissued for 20 years now. I have successfully installed on many Vista systems. Recently, however, a user in Greece was installing on a Vista system...

    Why are multiple pages served when SSL is turned on?

    Recently, my web sites have been sending out two confirmation emails for orders submitted. Both the web site owner and the customer get the duplicate emails. Occasionally, these emails have been sent out in triplicate! This behavior began conspicuously after updating (GoDaddy.com) security...

    Installed database location?

    Now, I've been at this for a while, so this question seems a bit rudimentary. However, I'm now faced with creating a Vista compatible installation. That means nothing that changes should reside in the program files folder. My installation kit installs an empty and a sample database for my...

    Loss of context while navigating web site.

    I am working on a web application that uses a COM+ application to implement a shopping cart. While navigating the web, occasionally, the session seems to simply lose its context. For example, if I'm navigating to detail pages on products, a detail page may generate an error. The error...

    Permission Denied error when accessing a COM object.

    Hi, I have deployed several web sites using a COM+ application for the back end on a Windows 2003 server. I have a protected ADMIN folder for administrative functions. My web host has set up administrative accounts to get to these administrative functions. The admin accounts for ONE web site...

    Best practice for a web service in a .Net world?

    My title question may be a little misleading, but that question is what got me to this point. I realize that SOAP is probably a common way to make a web service available. However, Microsoft seems to have dropped support for the SOAP toolkit, and I'm not sure how to use SOAP on a Win2003...
