[ADMIN] Results of the Tour de Cure ride
by Edward Leafe 17 May '16

17 May '16

Yes, I'm still alive! ;-) I rode the full 103-mile course on Saturday, and wrote about it in my blog: http://blog.leafe.com/index.php/2016/05/16/the-second-century/ I did record the ride, but Runkeeper seemed to have a brain fart at the beginning of the ride. For some reason it didn't record a GPS signal, so it had me riding directly due east at the start: over lakes, highways, and through buildings! Then it jumped to the actual course and behaved the rest of the way. So it's missing 12 of the first 23 miles, and yes, I have people from Runkeeper looking into what happened. Here's the link: http://rnkpr.com/ad13iib Hint: click the full-screen icon in the top left to get rid of the annoying sign-up stuff. Thank you all so much for supporting me, and for donating to help such a worthy cause.

Shortcut to generalized click column for sort order browse?
by Joe Yoder 16 May '16

16 May '16

I need to present information from several tables. I want to enable the user to click on a column header to control the order in which the records are displayed. At this point it does not need to be very polished so a simple browse with scrolling, column resizing and repositioning, with control F find will be fine. A generalized routine like this that would handle most tables would be quite useful. Is there something available that I should use rather than reinventing the wheel?

Help with SQL optimization
by Joe Yoder 16 May '16

16 May '16

I have a process that starts out with a table of about 4300 records. An SQL select yields a cursor of only the records not already in a master table for processing and gradual addition to the master table. When the master table was empty my SQL results were sub second. Now that the master table has about 1350 records in it the SQL process takes between 15 and 16 seconds. My initial thought was that indexing each field in the master table should speed things up but that seems to have no effect. Here is the code: * Build a cursor of all records from the Receipts table that are not in the Master table SELECT *; FROM Receipts; WHERE (DTOC(dDate); + ALLTRIM(cName); + ALLTRIM(cType); + ALLTRIM(STR(nAmount,10,2)); + ALLTRIM(cAccount); + ALLTRIM(cClass); + ALLTRIM(cJobCust); + ALLTRIM(cNumber); + ALLTRIMm(Memo); + cSplit_id; NOT in; (select DTOC(dDate); + ALLTRIM(cName); + ALLTRIM(cType); + ALLTRIM(STR(nAmount,10,2)); + ALLTRIM(cAccount); + ALLTRIM(cClass); + ALLTRIM(cJobCust); + ALLTRIM(cNumber); + ALLTRIM(mMemo); + cSplit_id; FROM Master)); INTO CURSOR Batch READWRITE Suggestions welcome!

Hey - -- Does anyone still have this old program that came with some version of Fox (pre-windows?). If so, could someone please send it to me, or otherwise suggest a freebie alternative?

DBF Records on a Web Server and EXE on Local Box
by G Gambill 13 May '16

13 May '16

Is it possible to read web based DBF records (a limited number of records) on a local box. Memo fields do not apply such that converting the DBF file to an SQL might be better. If I can leave the data as a DBF, how do I do it? If SQL is better both short term and long term, how do I do that? Best conversion program and reading Web based SQL from a local box code suggestions? TIA George -- Success builds confidence.

RE: DOSBox (was: [NF] Virtual Box)

(As long as we're renaming threads, I think we should drop the [NF], since I'm definitely looking at this for running FoxPro apps!) Gene, I'm quite familiar with the DOSBox site and forum, but again, never looked up "printing" on it. I just saw the documentation that said printing wasn't supported and stopped there! Thanks for the recommendation of FreeDOS, Ted. I had forgotten about that one.

[OT] Hillary's IT guy

Why do I get the idea that this guy will be the fall guy for the email scandal? Apparently he's been offered immunity, but will he ever be able to work in IT again? http://dailycaller.com/2016/05/12/documents-show-hillarys-email-technician-…
