[OT] Two DHCP servers on a network
by Graham Brown 22 Feb '16

22 Feb '16

Hi I have test platform network running server 2012, the PCs are cat cabled back to the network switch. All the PCs connect to the domain. I also have several wifi devices (laptops/tablets/smartphones) which connect the internet but not the server or domain. The Virgin Media router also has DHCP. The router is fixed to 192.168.1.1 The server is fixed to 192.168.1.2 I've also set the ranges for DHCP so the server has 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.230 The router has the range 192.168.1.239 and above. My thinking was if anything logs into the domain it will take the server DHCP IP address range and wifi devices from the router DHCP IP range. Having checked all the connected devices they all seem to be 239 and above. It appears it is a bad idea to have 2 DHCP servers but not sure if this will stop the tablets and smartphones getting a connection. Could anyone point me towards best practices please. Not sure if I can turn off DHCP on the server altogether. Regards Graham --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Including an SQL expression builder on a form
by Joe Yoder 22 Feb '16

22 Feb '16

I am working on a form where I build a table with memo fields storing sql select statements and would like to use a built in VFP function, with all the field names and functions available, to build and edit the statements. The data the sql select will reference is in a pair of cursors. I found the query builder but I don't know how to access it from a form and it wants the name of a database with no obvious way to accept a cursor or free table. Any advice will be welcome. Thanks in advance, Joe --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Ken, I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned Google's blogspot (blogger.com) It's a decent free place to start. -Jerry --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Remote Desktop Options
by Richard Caruso 18 Feb '16

18 Feb '16

Most of our clients use the Remote Desktop App RDP in Windows, but clients have experienced the session screen turning black after some time. We found a Columbus Remote Desktop that seems to work fine, but it doesn't map local drives. Any Remote Desktop apps ProFoxers can recommend? -Ric --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

I have a CSS problem. I do not know what is causing the problem. It might be Firefox, WordPress, other CSS, or something else. 2) Because then I have to use the current version which will not work well for me. AS well as the tabs issue, I use tab groups heavily, and they are slated for removal in version 45 (the next version). > About tabs, I don't see them as a problem, old ones looked better, > but it's just a cosmetic issue For me, it is a usability issue.

I also was saddened by the impending removal of tab groups, Gene. You may have noticed in the banner notification that there is an add-on that keeps the functionality in FF and I installed it. Seems to work just like the native one so far. -- rk -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:profoxtech-bounces@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Gene Wirchenko Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2016 4:36 PM To: profoxtech(a)leafe.com Subject: Re: [NF] A Good Browser?

I am looking for an alternative. Firefox screwed up tabs with version 29. (The ergonomics are horrible for me.) Now, I find that they are about to remove tab groups which I use heavily. I have used Firefox since version 0.9something. Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko
