hash code for foxpro/dos
by John R. Sowden 16 Aug '16

16 Aug '16

I am currently using some code that I acquired years ago to hash (1 way encrypt) passwords. Now I am wondering if it is sufficient for the use. Is there either a foxpro (.prg) source that I can incorporate into my log on program or binary that I can load into memory? This is for my alarm company dispatch center, so i have a responsibility to be secure.

Embedded Excel...
by Dave Crozier 15 Aug '16

15 Aug '16

I have been forced to bite the bullet on a small project and use embedded OLE Excel objects as general fields in a VFP table. Although totally against my principles where I would normally save the link to a physical Excel sheet and then open it up as a com object, is there anyone who knows how I can drive the embedded Excel object in the same way that you can when using Automation? Ideally I want to query the embedded Excel and pull back a named range of cells. Into VFP. Any ideas?

Complications with NULLS
by Kurt Wendt 15 Aug '16

15 Aug '16

As some of you may remember, I had a project recently where I needed Blanks to show up in Excel file output - where normally numerical data is displayed. The suggestion was to use NULL values. So - I implemented that - and it worked great! That folks here that use the system were very happy with that results. Problem is - they didn't look closely at the resulting output. You see, they need to look at an Excel file output to confirm the data looks correct. But, then they need to generate this Text file output - which gets sent to clients. Those Txt files are then imported into their systems. And, needless to say - the format of the Text files must stay consistent and MUST be properly formatted. So - imagine my surprise to learn that the Text files were wrong. Turns out - they are Missing a Blank character for the field that was set to accept NULL values. And, this morning - I reviewed as much of the online documentation in VFP (release 9) - and could find NO References to this type of problem. Have other experienced this before? Do I merely need to add an additional digit (currently its 17,2 - and I'm looking to make it 18,2) to resolve this problem? Does this make sense??? Thanks in advance to all the ProFoxers!

From the VFP webpage (launched from Task Pane mgr inside VFP)

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vfoxpro/ At the end of the first paragraph: "For a great solution for building modern business applications, take a look at LightSwitch in Visual Studio 2012" Is Lightswitch still in play? Just curious if VFP outlived that reference. lol
