Hey Kurt - you and I met once or twice in NYC. I'm fully retired now,
living in MA & still lurking on the list. Haven't programmed in years.
Good luck & hang in there.

Hey Paul - thank you VERY Much for your kind words!!! YEah - its a VERY
Difficult time for me. Probably one of the most difficult times in my
life...
And - I wholeheartedly agree - developing apps w/VFP beats other tools -
since its truly RAD! And, I don't mean it in the COOL Way kids say it!!
U mean - Convert an old FP for DOS app to VFP? Cause - Hell - I would
LOVE to do THAT! I would be truly KILLER at that!!! But - alas - trying
to find those kinda people may be a bit tough...

I am still developing and supporting VFP6.0 and VFP9.0 apps daily for my
very narrow market. After having done extensive testing on multiple
development tools over the last six years, I can definitively say there is
nothing I can't do for my clients in my particular market and do it faster

I've made the comment to this group before: Almost day I learn something new
that Foxpro can do that changes the way I work. I use this tool everyday and
I kid you not, the joke in my office is when I yell out, "I learned my new
Foxpro trick for the day!"
Thank you Ricardo! Your tip put me exactl
Kurt,
I donot agree with you on this.
When I say 'a modern Win10 appilication' I just mean an application built
with VFP9SP2 with some modern UI - like FoxyRibbon, FoxyPreviewer etc. This
is for the endusers already an immazing improvement when you have worked
with a FoX2.2 built application.
Sure
I'm curious.
I have a buddy of mine who has been DEMANDING that I get onto the
SalesForce bandwagon. Seems there is a HUGE Demand out there it. And,
supposedly - its Stupid easy to learn.
So - I Am VERY curious to know. IS there any folks here who work with it!?!?

Hey Koen - I TOTALLY Appreciate the input. Problem is - I can't convert
a VFP app to a Modern Win10 app - since, I don't have any experience
w/tech that would allow me to do exactly that. Sure - I know FoxInCloud
has a kind of conversion utility to do something like that, but, alas -
I don't ha
Kurt
My advise: throw a website together in which you advertise your skills.
Donot prompte Foxpro but do promote you can convert old fashioned DOS apps
(VFP 2.2, Clipper and the like ) to a Win10 app.
Lots lots of these old programs still running around seeking for a modern
upgrade

No snark implied or taken!
The reason for this isn't about the source data as much about the
destination data. We are pulling the data for use in another system and we
are trying to populate a new field with content based upon similar source
data. It will be normalized in the destination system.
There's no need for a UDF, VFP has a built-in function LIKE().
Create Cursor depts ( deptnum c(3), Descript c(10), Value i)
Insert Into depts ( deptnum, Descript, Value) Values ( "1??", "Dept 1",
99930)
Insert Into depts ( deptnum, Descript, Value) Values ( "2??", "Dept 2",
92382)
Insert Into dept
Yeah - I know - these days - that's a pretty crazy request.
I know some of you have followed me a bit - and know I lost my job in
Nov 2017 - where I was working down on Wall Street. Then, moved to Cali
to look for a job - could NOT find work in San Francisco. Even applied
to UCLA for a program
Requisite snarky comment: if a join depends on only _part_ of the value of
another field, the data is not normalized.
Are the DeptNum fields really literally question marks and digits, as if
they were wildcards?
If so, you could write some UDF to convert DOS wildcards of * and? to SQL
wildcards o
Ok, I need a little help and here's the scenario:
I have an x-ref table that looks like this:
DeptNum, Description, Value
1??, Dept 1, 99930
2??, Dept 2, 92382
3??, Dept 3, 83728
?4?, Dept 4, 27377
Next, I have a data table with thousands of employees with department
numbers I want
This had started because Mike had stated:
That's always been my approach to avoiding SQL injection but I thought
Steve or somebody else here LONG ago had debunked that approach as
still vulnerable?
So I was concerned that the technique that has been put forward as the
safest way to avoid SQ
It takes some testing. I presented the first easiest hack and I may have
said use the opening ' because I thought that you were looking for text
data and not INT value in that table you were querying against.
Creating a series of tests just to be sure, is helpful. In the end, when
everything is
Ah, I was concerned that all these years of me using parameters for
safety you had some proof that they were unsafe.
