Woody Leonhard, I guy I trust: http://www.infoworld.com/article/3104389/microsoft-windows/the-case-against… Even more reasons why we all should bend over and let Microsoft force "updates" on us, and why software professionals should advise people that this is a fine idea.

OneNote on WIN 10. I don't want OneNote. I certainly do not want third parties downloading to OneNote -- such a Kindle. How do I remove OneNote?

API to find the size of an entire folder structure?
by Joe Yoder 03 Aug '16

03 Aug '16

Is there a programatic shortcut to finding the size of an entire folder/subfolder structure without recursing through it in VFP? Thanks in advance, Joe --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Handling POP3 Email in folder structures
by Joe Yoder 03 Aug '16

03 Aug '16

I have a situation where an old Email client is being retired. That client stored email in folder structures. Each Email is a separate file which I believe remains in the POP3 format in which it was downloaded. The goal is to treat the Email as a company resource that can be accessed by anyone who has a need to see it. I am thinking of several options and open to suggestions: - Process the contents of each folder into an individual text file and store that file on the local server where appropriate users can see it. - Process the contents of a folder into a format that can be imported into a company generic Gmail account along with an origin label. Users with the proper clearance could then access the original Email from the generic account. I assume that I am not the first person dealing with this situation. The simplest solution might be something off the shelf that does not involve coding at all. Otherwise - I know the text portion of the files is easily manipulated in VFP. Handling attachments may be much more difficult. I have no experience in interfacing with Gmail. Ultimately I would like to allow a user with a Gmail account to apply a specific label to an Email in her/his environment and have that Email automatically copied to the appropriate generic company email account. This would put information that others need where they can see it without copying multiple people. It should allow deleting a users account without loosing company information. Any input welcome!

Mobile App

With all this talk about platforms and languages, I'll throw this out there. I would like to design something that will work on a mobile phone. Apple and.or Android 1 Your system device name. Can be a serial number or some other unique 10 character value 2 Start Date/time 3 A 10 digit number 4 Stop date/time Email this data to an email address After emailing, a button to erase the data file. In VFP terms, a table with columns like SYSNAME C(10) STARTTIME (Date/time) JOBNUM N(10) STOPTIME ( Date/time) Is this a Xojo job I should attempt or is someone able to do this for me (PAID of course) -- Kind regards, Sytze de Boer --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---
