RE: Welcome to Fabulous Visual Studio .NET postcard

Ted, Or go to the far more civilized wiki and read the collective wisdom: http://wiki.python.org/moin/IntegratedDevelopmentEnvironments Perfect! BTW: What direction are you moving in - Python, PHP, Ruby, other, all? Here's where I'm at in my evolution ... I'm loving PHP - it feels pretty natural to me. Impressed with the scope of its libraries. I'm trying to like Python. Haven't had my aha moment yet. Plan on downloading the latest Dabo release soon and giving it another try. I continue to look at Ruby (ROR) based on the deafening buzz but I'm still not sold.

RE: Multithreading - what is the latest
Nick, The task at hand is a Multithreaded HTTP Webserver written entirely in Fox. The idea being that each Virtual Directory would have it's own executable (maybe multiple) to marshall the traffic for it's own requests to the Winsock layer. That way if the owner of one particular Virtual directory wrote code that locked-up the exe it would only be their own exe that would stop working all others would still be running.

Re: Adobe Acrobat PDF Edit / Report Engine behavior

Re: VFP9 systray character
There's no native win32 support for text here. You'll need an owner draw compatible systray tool for that(unlikely). Optionally(and probably easier), you'll need something that can draw text into a bitmap at the appropriate size and then save as an icon file to pass to your systray class. The system's GDI+ calls might support saving as an icon file, but I'm not certain. Read the AMAZING Ceasar Chalom's blog on the topic of VFP and GDI/GDI+: http://weblogs.foxite.com/cesarchalom/ Also check out Anatoliy Mogylevet's wonderful VFP/Win32 site: www.news2new.com Finally, the Sedna release of VFP promises a new GDIPLUS class (also discussed on Ceasar's blog) http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/ Let us know what you come up with!

Re: FYI - I/O error in Foxpro 2.6a
Michael, recompile FPW 2.6a on their system I was receiving the infamous I/O error caused by there not being a CD in the CD-ROM Drive. I had the same problem many years ago. I think(?) the solution was to make sure you compile your FPW 2.6a code from drive C: If you compile from a different drive you will get the error you describe. Does this ring a bell with anyone else?

RE: [NF] Where to find license keys for Empower program
Thanks to all of you who replied. With your help and the help of MS phone and chat support I was finally able to find my license keys for Empower downloads. MS personal support was good/patient - but the user/customer experience to find such a simple piece of information was *TERRIBLE*. To follow-up on what others have said: 1. You must use IE 6 or later; 2. I found I had to manually clear cookies every time I wanted to login to the MSDN Empower site; 3. Once I found the damn keys, I visited every product I could possibly want to download and requested a product key. This process created a growing list of keys associated with my account. When I was done requesting all my keys I used the Export Keys to XML option which opens up a new browser window with your list of keys in an XML format. I copied and pasted this list of keys to an email to myself and to a text file on my master workstation so I could avoid this nightmare in the future. The Empower program is a great deal in terms of money - but it is also a painful program to register for and use.

RE: Buffer overruns stuff
Lew, I have several VFP applications that have been running non-stop for years. Every time a new release of VFP comes out, I've recompiled and re-installed without problem. One suggestion: You might try sprinkling some ... strtofile( timestamp, global counter and some diagnostics or code location, myapp.log, .T. ) throughout your code to see where you code is failing. When your system fails, review the log and see if there's a pattern.

RE: Buffer overruns stuff
Lew, Have a loader app (could be a batch file) that runs your main app in a loop and only exits when a certain file is present locally. Sample batch file (untested): code @echo off :start myapp.exe if not exist myapp.quit goto start del myapp.quit /code Have your main app exit every X minutes so it can get restarted by the loader app. Its a hack for sure, but desperate times often call for desperate measures.

I would have no problems expecting the same treatment from my clients. An alternative to credit cards might be to lease them your services (or the software you're developing for them) using a 3rd party leasing company. This would allow your customer to spread a year of payments over 2 or more years. Let us know what strategy you come up with.
