[FIC] Problems with Adapted code
by mbsoftwaresolutions＠mbsoftwaresolutions.com 24 Jul '17

24 Jul '17

Hi Thierry, As I mentioned last week, I'll post here so as to help educate ProFox on the product, using the [FIC] subject prefix. When I ran the latest adaptation assistant, I made the C:\TEST folder (and subfolders) all read-write to remove the readonly errors I had prior. As per instructions at the end of the FAA, it says to run it and make sure it still works. I took that to mean I should run the newly built EXE. So I did: DO c:\test\dev\somerset\mbss_reports.exe *-FIC- Replaced by FoxInCloud Adaptation Assistant version 2.24 (copy mode) on 06/28/2017 06:24 AM *-FIC- WAIT WINDOW TIMEOUT 1 lcSalutation + lcUser wWAIT(lcSalutation + lcUser, 'WINDOW TIMEOUT 1') It errors on the FAA-generated wWAIT function with which FAA replaced my WAIT WINDOW TIMEOUT (also seen in the commented out code above). Question #1: do WAIT WINDOW instructions need to be taken out of the original code base? Question #2: what's my next step? Question #3: after FAA completes, how do I launch this newly adapted app in my local browser??? Thanks, --Mike

[NF] Updatable Code Snippet in HTML
by Charles Hart Enzer, M.D. 22 Jul '17

22 Jul '17

"Cascading Snippet" In HTML, I want to insert a header into 100's of pages. But I want to update it only once -- and all the pages will be updated. Something on the order of how I manage formating with default.css.

Location of Out-of-process automation server
by Paul Newton 20 Jul '17

20 Jul '17

Hi all Let's say that I have an out-of-process automation server (MyServer.EXE) containing OLEPUBLIC classes like MyOLEPublicClass1 etc and then I use CreateObject like this: o = CreateObject("MyServer.MyOLEPublicClass1") Class MyOLEPublicClass1 can determine the location of MyServer.EXE using the _VFP.ServerName property but what I want to do is determine the location of MyServer.EXE BEFORE I use CreateObject. I imagine this should be possible via the registry (looking for an entry that refers to "MyServer.MyOLEPublicClass1" but I cannot get further than that. Any ideas ? Thanks Paul Newton

Validating email addresses

My client wants to weed out the bad emails she has in her database. I'm guessing however she's sending them out, she's either not getting the bounce backs or it's too manual a process. When I googled, I found this: https://www.emailhippo.com/en-us/verify-email-address/api/a I thought I'd ask if anyone here uses something else or has a tip to share? tia, --Mike

[NF] Best Programming Books To Read & Become Better Programmers
by Paul H. Tarver 16 Jul '17

16 Jul '17

Tech Republic just published a gallery of the 15 Books That Every Programmer Should Read: http://www.techrepublic.com/pictures/gallery-15-books-that-every-programmer- should-read/?ftag=TRE684d531 <http://www.techrepublic.com/pictures/gallery-15-books-that-every-programmer -should-read/?ftag=TRE684d531&bhid=19995525687222274123473679288983> &bhid=19995525687222274123473679288983 Anyone want to weigh in on their thoughts about this list or suggest books that made a big difference in their programming life? Also, are there books you've read specific to FoxPro that went beyond just the mechanics of programming FP and moved into the art of programming FP? PS: I'm ordering "Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship" by Robert C Martin today, although I'm probably going to find myself guilty of making a lot of the mistakes he outlines.

"An IF | ELSE | ENDIF statement is missing"
by mbsoftwaresolutions＠mbsoftwaresolutions.com 16 Jul '17

16 Jul '17

Don't you hate it when you have a super long one-time conversion program, add some new 1-time crap over time, and then all of the sudden when ready to run you get this error message, AND CAN'T SEE WHERE THIS MISSING/ERRANT STRUCTURE IS? I'd be surprised if we haven't all been there at some point in our dev lives. It pays to take the time and do good modular design instead of this way-too-long PRG run on crap. hahaha
