[NF] Question about classic ASP working with VFP9 SP2. How do I get a VAL() function in classic ASP?
I really like ASP and how easy it is to make a web page with server side script processing. It is very much like VFP. I never had the thrill of working with VB but I guess that is what it is like. ASP will do all the things I want to do except: There is no val() function? crazy. There is no way to get the value of a string of digits? who designed this compiler? Anyway, does anyone know how to do this? A separate, related question, It is easy to read and write to a VFP DBF table with or without a DBC. I am using a DBC and DBF's that I build with VFP9 SP2 and then read with an ASP web page. It works very fast and great except for another limitation: vfpoledb will only access character fields? Is that correct? Does anyone know if there is a way to read/write numeric fields? It is fun working with VFP and server side compiling web pages because of the ease of working with IIS. It is (my opinion) much easier than VFP/SOAP, etc. You can pick up ASP in a week and be creating elaborate web pages. Please don't recommend ASP.NET. I know it has all kinds of great functions missing (for some reason) from vb and classic asp, but I don't care to work with .net. My plan is to eventually move to python someday, maybe. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/a9fcce12dd8a484bbe2d507b5e257...@w2k3s02 ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Re: Printer Drivers: Screwing Things Up - Adobe comment
I agree and never use that it anymore. Most of the Adobe stuff is a waste of money. I found something called PDF factory. It worked first time and has never failed. How many products can you say that about? It is very easy to set up. I have upgraded to new hardware several times, new operating system, etc and it always installs easily and works every time. - Original Message - From: Gene Wirchenko To: ProFox Email List Sent: Thursday, July 23, 2009 5:41 PM Subject: Printer Drivers: Screwing Things Up Hello: You work so hard at getting things to work. Then, something happens to give you grief. If it always happened, it would be easy to verify that your potential solution to it really does work. If it is occasional, you can not be sure that you have nailed it. I have one of those situations. I would like to compliment Adobe on how easy they make it to use their Adobe PDF printer driver. Unfortunately, since they do not make it easy, I can not very well compliment them. This USENET message of mine (e59oh2111dikqj55oa91cdse0984htu...@4ax.com) says quite a bit of it. Occasionally, I run into what appears to be a race condition between printing with the Adobe PDF driver and copying the PDF. I posted here about this. My potential solution is to have two Adobe PDF printer drivers and printing one copy to each Adobe PDF printer. Occasionally, it hangs up. My code is not buggy, at least to the extent that it does usually work. The problem may well be Adobe's code. Whatever. I need to assure myself that I have indeed solved the problem. What can cause trouble for a printer driver? I would like to force the problem to appear, at least fairly reliably, so that I can check my solution. Any ideas?

Re: [NF] Advice about going 64-bit Win 7 OS.
Full disclosure: I have not tried it. One of the support guys here is a techy-type and has installed each Win7 beta using vmware or something like that. He tries every version of our software on Win2000 - win 7 and lets the programmers (like me) know when there is a problem. All our 'windows compiled' software is now in vfp9 sp2. To date, not even one problem has been reported with Win7. I (this is my personal opinion) refuse to use Vista (nickname crap/Win ME). Unfortunately we have many clients that got it on new hardware so we are FORCED to support that crap. We are looking forward to Win7 because it seems that it will have some parts that work, unlike Vista and ME. I still work on Win2000 which I still insist is the last good operating system that M$ made. For me, the test is simple. Right-click on 'my computer'. Share the C: drive. If it is really shared, you have an operating system that is worth a sh.t. If it is not shared, then you have crap. Now, if M$ would have some kind of dialog that would walk you through the sharing, then I would be convinced. To date, sharing XP, 2003, Vista is hit or miss. When you 'share' the drive, you have done nothing. The drive is not shared. Not even close. Instead of doing the work I should be doing, I am fishing around on local policy, services, and other obscure menus and stupidily worded selections that change with every version. There is nothing consistent. Nothing is ever fixed. Things are just moved around and renamed to make you think that there is some kind of development going on at M$. Right now, my development network has 2 Win2000, 2 XP and 1 Win2003 and a Crapsta laptop that is turned off. All computers can freely share all files This is required for development of software - except one of the XP computers cannot access the 2003 server and the 2003 server cannot access that XP. Both can 'see' each other in the network display. Neither can ping the other. When you click on the computer name, it says you don't have permission. All computers are logged in with the Administrator user so that is stupid and not true. There is no domain. Only an idiot would design an operating system like this. It is obvious that there is no quality control. No one tested this crap. It is easy to copy files between those two computers when you are on any of the other computers so there is no question about all computers being connected correctly. Microsoft designs are garbage. There is no quality. No thinking. There is no one in charge. The company is obviously run by lawyers a nd sales people. The company is obviously a monopoly and we will all be stuck with this crap for a long time. The latest stock market reports have a hint of the future.

There is this car named 'vista' that you can rent at the airport. They put the gas cap just inside the left rear door.

Re: [NF] Backup strategy
We use Acronis to image our critical computers. It is great and allows an easy restore of individual files, folders or even the entire system with the boot sector in case of a total failure. The only problem is that if you restore to a completely different computer with totally different drivers (like restoring an Intel system to an AMD system) it will not boot. You won't lose any files, but like Christof said, you are up the creek if you don't have your install software, license, product keys, etc because you will need to reinstall all the applications. I have wondered if I could use add/delete programs to uninstall the drivers before making an image if that would solve the problem, but I have not gotten around to testing that. pressing F8 and using safe and/or vga boot does not work, at least it has failed the 2 times we tried. If Microsoft would 'modularize' the os, it would be possible to backup without the drivers, but I guess that is asking too much. - Original Message - From: Peter Cushing To: profox@leafe.com Sent: Monday, July 13, 2009 4:20 AM Subject: Re: [NF] Backup strategy Christof Wollenhaupt wrote: As far as I can see this, your scheme will only protect you against hardware failures. It won't help if your office is broken into or if the entire building burns down. In this case you absolutely need your software install packages to get started. Project is important, but without the software and the licenses you can't use them. We have most of our servers imaged somewhere else with another machine on another site so we can be up and running quickly. All the VM stuff is easy to get going as well. This aside the question is when do you do the backup? Is it quick enough to be done during the lunch break? Then you could plug in the USB stick, go to lunch and put the stick into your pocket. If it runs longer than that it's unlikely that someone will wait in the evening for the backup to complete, especially when the performance degrades. So you would need to pick it up in the morning and be always two days behind with the backup. The backup we are talking about is done every night. Our main database apps are zipped up along with other things like mail zips and we burn the zip files onto DVD next day. At the moment we back these files onto a REV drive and have a large backup window to do it. At lunch an app runs to make a lunchtime backup of some fox data. It just does a COPY TO to another location. We started doing this when the main stock DBF went west at about 5:50 pm so leaving us to either go to the previous day's data or use that one file from the previous day and just apply the transactions to it.

Re: VFP9: Runtime
This is true. Years ago with FoxproDos we experimented with having the libraries and our EXE on the local workstation and found that it made very little or no performance difference and was not worth the support effort. We always install the dll ocx with our EXE and it has worked with every fox version through vfp9 sp1. You do need to register many of the dll and ocx on every local machine, but they can be located on the server. We find the single most important factor in performance with vfp (and our program of course) is the amount of memory you have. There are a lot of rumors out there about how much memory you can have on this or that os. We put 4 gb on xp sp2 and we find that it will show at least 3.35 gb and so it is worth the cost if you need performance. Fox is a memory hog, so you may realize decreased performance on the startup because it is loading programs, however, once your program is running, we find the performance is much improved. We have done a lot of tests (with our software only) over the years. - Original Message - From: Rick Schummer To: profox@leafe.com Sent: Tuesday, June 23, 2009 9:35 AM Subject: RE: VFP9: Runtime The runtimes have to be installed on the client machine(s).

The obvious choice is PostgreSQL because of the BSD license and the maturity of the software. In conclusion I expect that MySQL in two years likely won't exist except on the most tertiary level.

VFP9 SP1 - need to create a statement with the report writer - multiple trx for a single client on one page.
I need to create a statement using the report writer.

Also, we have several clients who want custom reports. Our program gives the client full access to all tables, but unfortunately it requires the ability to program in vfp.

I can knock this out fast, Fox will do it well, the client is married to M$, so no cross-platform issues, etc. So I do it.

So I thought: their Web firm is pure M$ tools, so I wonder if I can expedite the conversion with a little two-step? I open the XML in Excel, and it converts absolutely flawlessly. Cool. Quick little automation script, save the converted data as a DBF, and on with the conversion to InDesign Worked great. Fast. My InDesign skills saved the client *lots* of design time. Client was pleased. All was right with the world. Fast forward one year -- this is an annual process. (Hear the ominous music?) The client runs my conversion utility. It's broken. %^%* She reports a really weird-sounding error, so I ask her to send me a screen shot of it. She does so in a Word document, and I see the DOCX extension.

Now I know I can save it as a CSV and append it into existing structures. Or maybe I can do something better with the XML bypassing the automation. Whatever. I can still make it work.

Re: [NF] Yearly support fees vs. hourly fees
I think this is a great idea if it works for you and your clients will pay. If you are located in California, there is one thing to be aware of. If you require a monthly/yearly/whatever payment, it is considered to be a sale and is taxable. If your support is optional then it is labor and not taxable as long as it is handled by phone/email/etc. This could be a major consideration because the State will not go to your client to get any back taxes. We have been through two audits and had to deal with this issue. Another thing to consider is that if you send the client anything tangible (floppy disk, cd, dvd, paper report, etc) then your support is taxable for that month (if you bill monthly). If your client downloads updates and reports, etc then it is not taxable. I am not a lawyer, just someone who has been through some terrible sales tax audits. One lasted over 6 months. - Original Message - From: Gil Hale RR To: profox@leafe.com Sent: Monday, April 13, 2009 8:30 AM Subject: RE: [NF] Yearly support fees vs. hourly fees I do not sell annual or other maintenance plans, and avoid that kind of terminology like the plague. It makes it too easy for folks to unplug a nice revenue stream. I do not sell my software solutions either. I provide maintenance (support) on a No Additional Charge basis! What the hell? Read on... I license my software solutions with an initial setup/config fee which is minimal - really minimal. Sometimes no initial fees at all. Then I charge a reasonable monthly license fee, where over the course of a few years I recoup what I would have gained with an initial full fee for a single pay billing. But, for the remaining months/years I keep receiving these monthly payments for a client having the right to keep using my software, and gaining income benefit far in excess of its monthly license fee. I also provide support/maintenance on a No Additional Charge basis for clients paying me a monthly recurring fee. I can come in very inexpensively for my clients with respect to how their cash flow gets hit, and in the longer run I end up generating far more revenue from my offerings. For instance, I have one client who has been paying me $1,000 per month for 43 dealerships to use my software (very inexpensive on a per store basis). They have been with me since 2001, just about 8 years, 96 months. Do the math. I could never have charged them that kind of money for that solution, despite it being well worth the investment. This kind of arrangement makes my software cost effective on both a monthly cash flow and a return on investment basis for my clients. And it gives me monthly incentive to keep doing the best possible job I can for them. When they request upgrades or consulting I handle those items on a no additional charge basis, whether it is directly related to my solution or not. For all the months I have had to do nothing for the income as they keep on using it internally with their own personnel, a few weeks here and there for special projects is fine with me g. The name of the game now-a-days, more than ever before, is client retention and revenue stream protection. This is how I am accomplishing it, providing excellent solutions for beyond reasonable pricing, and not trying to nickel and dime a client at every turn. I get my recurring revenue stream from multiple clients, they get my attention whenever they need anything extra - plus make and/or save money using my software in excess of the revenue they provide me. If they begin to clip services in a tough economy I am betting I will be the last vendor standing as I not only make them money, I ask for relatively little in return. But when I sum the income from all clients each month I find I am doing just fine, without having to chase the next dollar while needing to ignore my current clients in the process. Of course, one can't simply flip a switch and migrate to this kind of model unless there is enough cash on hand to survive the initial lean months as a core client base is built. I was lucky in being able to bide my time as I built my business around this model. I know another FoxHead who chimes in once in a while in ProFox who has begun to adopt this kind of business model. He has a full time (or more g) job, and can afford (from what I can tell) to take his time in building up his client base on the recurring fee and minimal initial charge business model. If he continues to do an excellent job for his clients, and he grows his business a bit at a time, keeps his overhead low (work out of the house), his side income may well exceed his employment income in time. Other folks may have a spouse whose income can help with the reduced income as one transitions from full up front billing to a smaller initial billing with recurring fee billing model. For others yet it may have to be a matter of offering the smaller initial fee with recurring fees on a situational basis for some

Re: [NF] What to charge customers when they let support lapse
This is probably going to be an issue for more clients as the economy worsens and they look for places to cut expenses. We charge for support monthly and it is optional. If they quit and then want updates at a future time, we require 6 months minimum since we cannot support them unless they have the latest version and it is worth that. Also, if they prepay for a year, they can pay for 10 months and get the 11th and 12th at no charge. This seems to be working ok for the past 10 years or so.

I eluded to the proverbial concern about customers not wanting to pay for the milk since they can get the cow for free. Got this tweet back from Jody Meyer: JodyMeyer: @mbabcock16 /Client Support/ We back charge here at MAGI to catch them up. There is no free milk here. Seems like a good policy. But I know this one client would say look, we like your software, but it works fine for us and we'd rather pay an hourly rate since we'll only need you (probably) 3 hours annually. And he's right from the perspective that the software not only works, it works well, even after 6 years of usage. (That's the problem with building great software---you don't make any money on recurring support fees LOL!) I've got another client down in TX who bought FabMate but wanted to wait some undetermined amount of time until they renew on FabMate support/upgrades as well. This all sucks of course, as I'd like to build my business model on recurring income. I'll keep upgrading/enhancing software (if it needs it), but to do it and then have this guy come back some point in the future to then buy another year of support (but receive all of the goodies I've done since he let support lapse) doesn't make me warm and fuzzy. The first customer has a point. The second customer is a bit different and I really don't want to give them upgrades they never paid for. I'm not going to hold them hostage, but am looking for advice on how best to handle these situations. tia! --Mike --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/073b01c9acc3$0b2f9e00$8600a...@w2k3s02 ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Re: Win7, Innosetup and other stuff
I expect a new os to support application programs that worked fine on the
previous os. If not, the necessary modifications that I need to make should be
clearly spelled out or obvious. As an alternative, I think it is perfectly ok
for M$ (for example) to stop supporting all dos programs in Vista 64. That is
clear and I can tell my clients that they need to upgrade to a windows program.
In fact, I welcome this as it helps me with support.
What I think is obnoxious and unreasonable is to take a working dialog,
program, whatever, and rename it and move it to some obscure place just so end
users get the impression that this is a new os and worth upgrading.
I am well aware that end users who only do email and maybe some word processing
will think Vista is ok. However, that is not all that my users do. My users
need my software in order to pay their bills and they expect me to be able to
support them because they are not experts in hardware or software. M$ seems to
go out of their way to make supporting existing software difficult. That is
stupid and near sighted and serves no good purpose.

Win7, Innosetup and other stuff
We got the Windows7 beta to see how our software works with it. We don't see much difference from Vista. Same old crap. Where are all the renamed and moved programs? If you have a lot of time to waste you can spend a few days of frustration trying to find them. Then when you find them, you find that there are enough changes so they don't work properly. M$ must be starving the monkey that does the quality assurance. M$ is doing everything possible to push everyone to Linux. Too bad that the 'masses' still can't use Linux. If they could, it would be a winner now. We still have over 1000 users with our FPD26A software and it works fine when you do all the crap you have to do to Vista. Our VFP9 SP1 version works on Win7 with no special changes. We have a newly designed innosetup installer and it is great. Finally we are able to install without dealing with the UAC, admin privileges to 'register' ocx and dll files. (what fool at M$ dreamed up the registry, registering crap, etc) That innosetup installer is great. We still have trouble with the 'Tasks' and 'Icons'. For some reason we can't get a shortcut on the desktop. You can get a lot of shortcuts under the Start button. We have a VFP9 SP1 program that creates shortcuts wherever we want, instantly so we put a reference to it in the [RUN] section of innosetup. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/00d801c9896e$0b5a3980$8600a...@w2k3s02 ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

VFP 9 runtime on Vista, the QD way - Anyone use innosetup for PostreSQL to be used with VFP9 SP1?
- Original Message -
From: Grigore Dolghin
To: profox@leafe.com
Sent: Saturday, January 31, 2009 5:16 PM
Subject: Re: VFP 9 runtime on Vista, the QD way
Here is a innosetup script which deals with everything regarding installing
a visual foxpro application under vista, in program files. UAC is taken care
off, the visual foxpro runtime is installed silently in the correct location
and correctly registered, also mysql odbc driver is installed. VFP runtimes
and MySQL ODBC driver are optional (they show up as checkboxes in
innosetup). There is a reference to a text file named runtime.txt - it is
the VFP Runtime installation kit configuration file and it's content is:
===
SELECT_RT=ABCDE
SELECTION=Aa
===
Points of interest in this script:
- I am using the inno setup preprocessor as well, that's why the app name is
substituted.
- Two more tasks, checkable alone - one for runtime, one for odbc driver.
- DeleteAfterInstall flag set on vfp runtime kit, odbc kit and runtime.txt
file. This means they won't stick around after instalation finishes.
- c++ runtime and mscomctl.ocx are installed in windows\system32 folder.
- {app} folder is created manually with write-access rights. (if it's not,
innosetup creates it by itself, to be able to place files there, but it
doesn't set any write access rights on that folder) - check dirs section
in script
- check the uninstall delete section - I personally hate when I uninstall
a program and it leaves junk in my program files (even an empty folder).
This script erases everything.
I suggest to use Inno Setup QuickStart Pack - it contains the compiler
itself, istool (a nice front end) and the preprocessor, in a single
installation kit. The link is here:
http://www.innosetup.com/isdl.php - look for QuickStart Pack.
Hope this helps.

Re: VFP 9 runtime on Vista, the QD way Install on the server or local workstation?
Installing on the local machine will not work for my clients. I have tried it. It is a mess. If you have 8 workstations, you would have to update all 8 at the same time. You would have to deal with that stupid MS requirement to 'register' ocx and dll files, even if they are in the same folder with the exe. Then on XP, Vista, etc you must have admin privileges, etc. This is too much for end users who are not at all computer literate.

[NF] FreeNAS was SCSI drives and VFP data tables
I am interested in your experience with the server and sata drives. Seagate has new firmware for their 1.5TB drives (5 year warrantee) that supposedly fixes the problems they had - they would 'go to sleep' for 30 seconds now and then. I am considering building a RAID5 NAS using FreeNAS to avoid problems with Linux/windows, etc. I would install 5 Seagate 1.5 TB drives for data and boot from a USB drive. - Original Message - From: Gil Hale To: profox@leafe.com Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2009 6:05 AM Subject: RE: SCSI drives and VFP data tables Unfortunately with Linux I found (supposedly) I can't have RAID5, so I am opting for RAID1, and the eSATA card supports hot swapping. So I have a 3rd 250Gb hot swap HDD for the boot drive set in case one HDD fails, and a 3rd 1.5Tg Seagate Freeagent Extreme external eSATA/USB2/Firewire HDD for the same reason. Warranties be damned if I have to wait a week to get a replacement part g. I never ran RAID1 before, so this will be interesting from both a performance and failure recovery perspective (I will test the hot swap and data striping capabilities before putting the Server into production). Oh, setup is going to be interesting also as I plan to run the Server under Ubuntu Server v-8.04 (may 8.10, have not decided yet). The Server OS options from Dell were Windows, Red Hat or Suse - but not Ubuntu. If I run into a pinch with Ubuntu I guess it is back to Suse for that one machine, which is fine although it does have an annual fee.

Re: [NF] MicroSoft Exchange Training
We have used Intuit for the past 11 years. Their integration with QuickBooks is the best we have ever used. We used ADP previously for over 15 years and it was a nightmare trying to read those reports (for example when you file the workman's comp). Also, you end up with 2 sets of books since they don't integrate with your bookkeeping system. I have to add that QuickBooks is something like Microsoft in that they make changes just so they can force you to upgrade - they tell you that you need to upgrade in order to keep using the payroll. The upgrades usually mess things up just like Microsoft so you have 10 months of frustration trying to find things. They move things around and change the names.

Re: [NF] Happy 34th Birthday to the Altair 8800
I remember it was featured on a copy of popular mechanics or one of those types of magazines - sometime around 1975. I have one of the original MITS Altair 8800 kits that I assembled. I think I have still have the receipt. I was at the 1st meeting at Gordon French's garage in Menlo Park, CA. The meeting was organized by posting in a column in a magazine (no email back then). The link you have below says the 1st meeting was at Stanford SLAC. That is not true. That came later. Gordon French had a hobby of model steam engines. I wonder what ever happened to him. He went to the meetings at Stanford for a time and then disappeared. Steve Jobs and Steve Waz later joined the club and showed the first apple computer at SLAC. I still remember those 'kids' coming down the isle with their 1st plastic case. The first program on the Altair was a looping program that you had to enter 1 byte at a time on the front panel, something like the boot program on a HP 3000 (for those old enough to remember that stuff). It caused a radio frequency signal that sounded like a song on your radio. I later got a punched tape reader that I still have, so you did not have to enter the boot program 1 byte at a time. I believe I had 1K or 4k (yes, 1 thousand bytes) of memory. I developed a tape driver program for a company named Processor Technology in Berkeley - later moved to Pleasanton, CA that would control a small tape drive to give 'massive' storage. It was back before the macro assemblers. It was written in pure machine language with lots of dirty tricks so it would fit in that memory. I remember digging through the Intel docs to find out how I could jump into the middle of some code to save some memory. I learned a lot from a guy named George Morrow in Berkeley - AKA Morrow's Micro Stuff. I believe that George Morrow coined the name 'S-100' for the first microcomputer bus.

Re: When is an administrator not an administrator?
I have already put 2 'Crapsta' computers back on Win2000. Solved all my
problems.
Unfortunately I need one Crapsta computer to test with because clients are
getting it. I will be very happy when people start
buying Linux computers. I hope that 5-10 years from now we are not forced to do
business with M$ anymore. It would be great to be
able to tell clients that we don't support M$ crap.

Subject: When is an administrator not an administrator?
Answer: Vista
I've got this new hot laptop, fully decked out. Vista Home Premium.
Okay, I don't have to attach it to a domain so I don't need Ultimate or
anything.
I'm trying to get up and running with my development environment. Vista
says that I'm the Administrator on the box, and there aren't any other
users configured {Opps! WTF?!? I wouldn't have set myself up as an
Administrator if I had known.} But wait! I'm trying to configure a
West-Wind application and it's having trouble running the Console.exe
magic which registers it. It's saying that I'm NOT an administrator.
I'm about to poke my eyes out after a day of frustration when I decide
to Google instead: How do I know if I'm an administrator on Vista?
I found this tip to make the Administrator magically appear from
nowhere:http://tinyurl.com/2q56p3
Notice that when you Run as administrator there's no password
required. Insanity.
VFP definitely runs slower on my new laptop than on my old XP Pro desktop.
I'm feeling dirty after running Vista, but I need it for day in and day
out VFP development. Oh well. Thought I'd share.

Re: [NF] Amusement
My knowledge is very old, but when I programmed in Cobol, the 'database' was nothing but 'bytes on the disk'. The definition of the fields were in the Cobol program. For those younger folks who know about sql, fox, etc, there was nothing in the 'database' that would give you a clue about where the data was. It gets worse. Cobol allows overlaying data. I could have a 128 byte record, bytes 21-26 could be ASCII text and in a different record it could be a floating point. Again, the definition was in the Cobol code. There would be one byte (for example) that would tell you how to interpret that record. In other words, without the code, you could have a very hard time working with the data. Back in the old days, disk space and memory was extremely expensive so you had to do a lot of dirty tricks in order to have a large database with reasonable access times. I code for healthcare. I remember packing the diagnosis codes into binary so that we did not have to use 6 bytes. Hope that is clear.

Re: [OT] How to determine if a market has hit THE bottom.
Funny how few people realize that. Some congressman can promise them a handout and they will vote for him. They just can't seem to realize that handout will not buy what it bought yesterday. Not only that, their kids will have to pay it back someday. The European governments are well aware of inflation. That is the only mandate their central bank has. They have lived through the days when it took a wheelbarrow full of money to buy a loaf of bread.

Re: [OT] The Killer Frost for Global Warming
I live in San Mateo county about 18 miles South. It is much more conservative here. We enjoy some of the benefits with few visible radicals. The court system, police, etc in this county are known for being conservative. My kids have never been around people who smoke. No buildings allow smoking. There are no power plants anywhere near the bay area other than wind farms and solar farms. You almost never see any trash anywhere. The weather is nearly perfect all year around. Your comment about the bums is correct, but it is not as bad as in the past. The crime rate is down from a few years ago. My company is going to have our annual user meeting in SF this year for the first time. We have always had it in Las Vegas in the past. The number of people who are planning to be there is already twice what it was in the past. There are a lot of churches and religious, conservative people in San Francisco and Las Vegas.

[OT] Low cost T1
If anyone is in the market for a T1 line from Covad, I have a contact. If you go to their web site, the price is $399/mo minimum. They have a non-advertised promotion on now for $299/month with a 1 year contract. First month and installation is free, but you must pay $200 for the router plus tax and $30 for a 'fuel charge' for the tech to come out and connect the line. This is in the San Francisco bay area so your deal might be different. The router is probably a Netopia. That is what Covad put on my other lines. Netopia can be a pain to setup if you are not used to it. I have screen shots that I can put on a web site if anyone needs it. If you call sales and they say you are mistaken, let me know and I will give you a phone number and person to call. I have had T1 lines from Covad in the past (also ATT, PacBell and others) and Covad has the best support of all in my opinion. The on-site response time on this promotion is 24 hours instead of the usual 4 hours. I have never had to have on-site support on a T1 line. Now if I could get a T3 for $499 life would be good. ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Re: Amount of money deposited into banks and IRS
Be careful. My understanding is that if you pay any person $600 or more in one calendar year you are required to report their SSN on a 1099. We pay outside trainers for our software. We always get their SSN and store it in their vendor record. If their receipts in one year reach $600 they get a 1099. I do not think any reporting is required for payments to corporations. Of course, I believe you are allowed to give anyone $11,000 per year tax free.

Fw: [OT] IRS -- keep it or do away with it? (was Re: Amount of moneydeposited into banks and IRS)
It is difficult to imagine the Feds going to something as simple as sales tax to fund the bridge to nowhere and other necessary vote purchasing ventures. Why collect from 15-20 million businesses which have no rights to privacy and are regulated by many laws and local zoning and other regulations? Businesses that are required to keep legible books and can be audited by any number of agencies any time. Businesses have workman's comp audits, sales tax audits, insurance audits, income tax audits, employment development department (EDD), etc. Businesses by definition must have cleaner records than individuals. They would rather collect from over 150+ million individuals who have many rights to privacy and do not have to keep correct records and cannot be audited without a search warrant and can be blocked by lawyers. That keeps all the accountants and lawyers in business. - Original Message - From: KAM.covad [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ProFox Email List profox@leafe.com Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2008 4:23 PM Subject: Re: [OT] IRS -- keep it or do away with it?

Re: [NF] RE: Printer recomendation
We agreed with that also. I have posted here and other places about the outrageous price of ink for the Epson printer (we have the RX580). Recently we were going to trash a perfectly good printer because of the bad luck with cheaper inks. We really like the print quality, but not at that price. Our problem is that we need to print on CDs DVDs and the color laser won't do that. We read a post somewhere about this: (on eBay) CIS CISS system for Epson R380 RX580 Rx595 Rx680 w/ ink We figured for about $50 dollars it was worth a try. It takes about 20 minutes to set up. They have a youtube video and they sent 2 CDs with video to help. So far it is wonderful. You get huge containers of each of the 6 ink colors. I was afraid it would clog up since we sometimes don't use it for a few days, but so far it has not. If it continues to work like it is now, this is the ultimate solution. You can get a bottle of ink really cheaply to refill the reserviors. No more fooling with those stupid little cartridges. We have a KonicaMinolta model magicolor 2400W from Costco that works great after about 2 years. We have 2 Brother MFC black/white lasers that work great after more than 2 years. The autofeed never fails. We use them for scanning as well as faxing and printing. The toner is reasonable. We tried an Okidata color laser and a Canon color laser and returned both of them - they were both junky printers. Funny since we have sold hundreds of Oki dot matrix printers over the years and they are real work horses. We have 2 Canon black/white lasers that we bought to use as default printers on networks. The auto-feed on both of them stopped working after about 6 months - again junky printers with expensive toner. - Original Message - From: Jean Laeremans [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ProFox Email List profox@leafe.com Sent: Monday, November 03, 2008 10:47 AM Subject: Re: [NF] RE: Printer recomendation On Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 7:21 PM, Michael Madigan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yep.

Re: [NF] No digital TV signal?
In fact an absolutely digital signal may not even be possible. Even in fiber optic cables, if you had a machine capable of analyzing the signal, you would find that the light does not appear 'instantly', but rather starts at a lower level than the final '1' signal. Of course, if you go low enough, maybe the light either exists or it does not exist (a true digital signal). The question is whether you could create a receiver sensitive enough to detect a single photon at any distance. How could you create a single photon in a controlled manner so it could carry information? Even light is a 'wave' which is analog by definition. Those pictures you see in the books with the square shapes on the 'wave' probably are an artist's depiction, not a picture of the actual wave. But I could be wrong as I have not actually seen a single photon - or maybe I have? - Original Message - From: Jim Felton [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'ProFox Email List' profox@leafe.com Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2008 6:01 PM Subject: RE: [NF] No digital TV signal? Mike just so you know, the digital signal your talking about isn't really digital. It is actually an 8VSB analog signal with digital data encoded in 8 subcarriers that have to synchronize as a single block to be received as data. You are right that there is On/Off relationship in the encoding of the data stream (Spec. 292) that is feed into the transmitter, but that is more or less the end of the digital part until it is received and decoder by your receiver/TV at which time it become digital again to be processed by decompression algorithm in the receiver and then guess what it goes back to analog if you have a TV with a picture tube.

Re: Microsoft reveals features of Windows 7
Yes, if you only looked at the specs you would think it was a game machine. But it runs like a snail. If you put 2 gb memory on a Win2000 machine it will run 10 times faster (my guess). I think a lot of our clients would go to Linux, but we would have to support everything. I wish someone would come out with a fully loaded machine that has Linux, email, office, etc. Then I wish we could get all our VFP9 software converted to Dabo. I think it would work, but it is a scary step when everything works like it is. We have a million lines of code with all those little 'fixes' that only come after your software has been used by a thousand clients over 10 years. We did that when we converted from FPD26 to VFP6. That seemed impossible, and it was, but we eventually got it working. We would never go back.

Re: [NF] M$ to push out Vista replacement in mid 2009
We have a different experience. For example, we have 2 Acer Aspire 7520-5071 Vista laptops bought with the same order, same store, same everything (at least that is what we ordered). Delivered in the same packing box. They look the same, etc. But they have a different log on screen? One will play a DVD when inserted, but no sound. The other will not play that same DVD unless you play around and click a hundred things - no sound either. The sound works with other programs. Our VFP9 software is the only thing that will install and run, no problem (thank goodness for that small favor). Vista is crap. We were able to share the C: drive so other workstations on the network can access it, no problem. However, after almost a year, we still have not been able to access other workstations from the Vista lap tops. Vista is crap. I am sure (I think) we could figure it out, but we have other things to do. What a joy to quit fooling around with Vista and sit down and work on a Win2000 computer. Win2000 is the last worth-a-shit OS from M$. Someone at M$ is laughing at all the fools out there in the real world who are forced to pay for their garbage. I'll bet Win7 will not work at all. They will see if anyone figures it out.

I also think they made an mistake defaulting to the new .x formats ( docs, xlsx and so on) in Office. I get the xml concept and think it's a brilliant idea, but they would have done better to not instantly abandon a format with a decade+ of history and user comfort. Once you get over the it is different you find that it is better. The older version of the supporting tools got stronger in the control you have in the newer offerings from M$. I am curious, did Win95 give you the same problems and taking on that GUI word processor over WP. I have been running Vista for 2 months now and find that I don't notice it. For an OS that is a good thing right? I turn on my laptop and it runs. It am connected to the network and switching between various wireless is straight forward. What I install works. The presentation or view I have of my screen is much more crisp and the graphics kick ass over prior versions in the DISPLAY. For as many hours as I spent in purchase of a big screen TV I know for a fact that DISPLAY is pretty damn important to a lot of people instead of just myself. All my software seems to load in just fine on it. My printers are not that old and they seem to work through a network to an XP machine at home or to the network at the various clients I have. After the new year I'll be a little interested in checking out Win7 to see what it is better at. I did put Vista on a new laptop that has 2 gig of ram and a standard cpu for today. Do I think that the newer layout of everything from M$ is a sin? I find that I can find more of what I MAY want to tweak when I now have the tool ribbon open then just the older menus. There is a lot more presentation on what you can do, as well as a visual clue as to that that will look like before you commit it.

VFP9 SP1 taking more than 3 minutes to load a project?

We don't use source control on this project. The files are on a Win2003 file server and the XP SP2 workstation is accessing it.

Re: VFP9 SP1 taking more than 3 minutes to load a project?
We have 2 backups. 1. We backup the entire drive with Acronis daily 2. select folders using a batch file which is driven by HandyBackup (We don't use the backup features of handy backup because we found that if files were open, it would skip and would not report it - our batch file uses XCOPY with Errorlevel and will loop forever until you fix the problem) We discovered this by accident when we needed to restore a critical file and found it was on several backups but not on the day we really wanted. I doubt we will ever trust another backup program without some kind of brute force method of checking every file to be sure the backup really worked. - Original Message - From: MB Software Solutions General Account [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ProFox Email List profox@leafe.com Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2008 12:17 PM Subject: Re: VFP9 SP1 taking more than 3 minutes to load a project?

Re: VFP9 SP1 taking more than 3 minutes to load a project?
Thanks for all the great suggestions. I finally stripped as many things out of the startup as possible and then add them back one at a time. I think I found the problem. I have been opening firefox with the feature 'open all in tabs' - this automatically opened 12 web sites. This consumed over 150,000K of my 2gb and killed the performance. After closing Firefox and deleting it from the task manager, the performance is now back to normal. I had no idea that Firefox would do that.

Re: [OT] financial crisis - was Sarah Pailn
It has nothing to do with politics. Money was loaned to people without any consideration of whether they could pay it back. What do you think will happen? We need some kind of regulation that prevents a loan from being resold unless the borrower has at least 20% down payment invested. That would limit the failure to the specific financial institution that loaned the money. Sure, there are some people who will default after putting down 20% or more, but they are probably limited to people who lose their job or some kind of event like that. Those 'loans' were packaged up into some kind of 'bond' and sold as 'gold'. Then many of those 'bonds' were packaged into larger 'bonds' and sold to other financial institutions, this went on over and over so that there was something like $1 actual value for every $40 'bond'. There is no telling how deep this goes. The only good thing that anyone can say is that some of those loans are good and will be repaid. The problem is that no one knows what is good and what is bad. - Original Message - From: Ed Leafe [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ProFox Email List profox@leafe.com Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2008 1:28 PM Subject: Re: [OT] Sarah Pailn On Sep 16, 2008, at 3:19 PM, John wrote: Worry not, God is always in control So *that's* who is responsible for the current financial mess.

Re: Speed issues - multiuser application
All the responses are good. You will always get better performance with one user, that is a given. But I have installations with as many as 80 simultaneous users with VFP9 SP1. Actually over 250 but I don't think more than 80-90 ever connect at the same time, probably only 20-30 active, even heavy data entry users. Many users require a dedicated server with a lot of memory. When you get more than 10, you need to consider using terminal services on dedicated servers which access the data on a separate dedicated server. If you play with it, you can make a system with as good performance as you see on those 'very large distributed applications' out there. At some point you have to realize that too many simultaneous users, too much simultaneous data transfer will force you into a different database solution. Be sure that your user interface uses only views, no direct table updates. Reports with direct table updates will kill the performance, even with 2 users on the most powerful hardware. Fox hogs all the memory it can get. That is how it performs. It can work for you or against you depending on your design. - Original Message - From: MB Software Solutions General Account [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ProFox Email List profox@leafe.com Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2008 6:17 PM Subject: Re: Speed issues - multiuser application Gil Hale wrote: snipped All that said, the difference in performance on the P75 machines was noticeable in terms of a few seconds (like 3 seconds instead of 1 second for some processes).
