VFP9SP2 app on Windows 10 -- reports not showing
by mbsoftwaresolutions＠mbsoftwaresolutions.com 30 May '17

30 May '17

Weird...my app's reports run fine on Win7 but when trying the same app on Win10, I get no output....and no errors either. Just as though it has popped up and vanished immediately. Has anyone else had that experience with Win10 and a VFP9 app? tia, --Mike

[NF] LogMeIn Hamachi

https://www.vpn.net/ I'm thinking about becoming a service vendor for several franchisees of a major corporation. If I needed to set folks up on a VPN, I was thinking about how simple LogMeIn's products have been, and their product for VPN was called Hamachi. Does anyone have any experience with it and can comment, good or bad? tia, --Mike

Recommendations for temporary file storage
by Paul Hill 28 May '17

28 May '17

Hi All, After our FTP server was hacked I'm looking for a secure way for clients to send us large backups. They can be 100Mb-2Gb in size but they will be downloaded and deleted fairly quickly. No permanent storage is needed, on our old server files were deleted at midnight. Ideally we would give each of our dealers a single login/pass and they will upload using a web browser on the clients site. We are only talking about a dozen logins. Would something like DropBox work? I've never used it, but £10/user/month seems a bit high. Looking for something more secure than a FTP server! -- Paul

I'm getting ready to do some Python learning on PluralSight.com and the dude mentioned PyQT for desktop applications. Ed & Paul (and others) -- your thoughts on that? Was interested in your take since you did Dabo for desktop applications with Python. Thanks! --Mike

Hello! Just take a look at that! That stuff is just so cool, iI love it! Please check it out here http://five.creatinggreatnessnow.org Yours sincerely, Al From: profox [mailto:profox@leafe.com] Sent: Friday, May 26, 2017 11:40 PM To: al(a)gatwicksoftware.com Subject: LEGO my EGGO! Well put. I understand that of course cars are more popular than motorbikes, otherwise there would be more of them on the road than cars, but I just don't understand how it has never come up. Especially considering that there are some really niche and really terrible games out there. It wouldn't be that hard to just incorporate a motorbike side to Forza, would it?

[NF] URGENT Request - MailMerge w/PDF
by Kurt Wendt 25 May '17

25 May '17

Hey folks, I have this crazy request here at work - and its super urgent. So - I need to figure out how to do this - and do it FAST! They have these spreadsheets of Data - and these PDF Files. I've done work recently with putting field names in PDF files. But, now I have to merge it with data from an Excel file. The other stuff I've been working on - its NOT time sensitive - and for that people have .Net code and pulling data from SQL. This new project is really a One-Shot-Deal! Doing a Google search I came up with some PDF Mail Merge utility that resides on CodePlex - and I see CodePlex so far is STILL running (although I looked thru recently archive postings since I knew that CodePlex was recently discussed about shutting down). So - this PDF Mail Merge utility on CodePlex - is it really the easiest way to go? I'm still researching on Google to see how to do this particular mail merge. Any thoughts on this?? TIA!

Foxpro running under terminal services suddenly a lot slower today.
by Michael Madigan 25 May '17

25 May '17

Has anyone noticed a change in their legacy foxpro 2.x programs running under Terminal services on Server 8.0 get slow today? I don;t know if there was a delayed update installed or something else. It is not a software problem because I have 2 independent programs both experiencing the same sluggishness. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---
