FoxBin2Prg Form.Property = "" becomes .F.
by Tracy Pearson 02 Apr '20

02 Apr '20

I have just recently started to use FoxBin2Prg to store my VCX and SCX files as text versions in Git. Some of my forms have properties set to a have nothing in it. VFP displays this as "(none)". When I use FoxBin2Prg to put this particular form in to the SC2 form, the back to the SCX form this property becomes a .F. Just putting this out there for those that might use this tool. Tracy

[NF] Yahoo Email Settings
by John Weller 08 Feb '20

08 Feb '20

A friend is using a program I wrote to send emails requesting a piece of information using SMTP with CDO. The program is only used twice a year. Last time it was used it was set up for his Sky account which worked fine however this time it has stopped working so he set up a Yahoo account which is not working either. Can anyone confirm the correct settings for Yahoo and SMTP please? We have tried outgoing mail server = smtp.mail.yahoo.com, port = 465 and 587, use ssl = .T., authenticate = .T. and username = 'name'@yahoo.com. Thanks John John Weller 01380 723235 07976 393631 --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

VFP6 and VFP9 Legacy Application Support Help
by Desmond Lloyd 05 Feb '20

05 Feb '20

I had posted this a few months ago and had received several responses, to those people I apologize for not getting back to you I support an application called Quick Aviation. It is a VFP application based on SBT Accounting and designed for by Aerospace MRO shops. Essentially our customer sends a part for a jet engine and we will repair, overhaul or test the part based upon Similar to ERP with the exception that we never know what parts will be needed. Quick Aviation was independently written and we bought the code. As you can imagine there have been all sorts of enhancements and custom reports written. Originally written for FoxPro for Windows it runs under VFP6, with a great deal of additional reports and "add-ons" being written in VFP9. We have approximately 150 users on the system. Being ran on a VMWare virtual server. We ship thousands of parts per month and typically have over 2,000 orders in process. Since I am the only person supporting the application and we are part of a very large aerospace concern, management is concerned with it's "stability" and ability to grow with the business. (We all know there should be no issues with that!) Also they want to insure that the application is fully is properly supported. Am not sure how this would be setup, but I would envision having a person available to provide support, user requested enhancements and report writing. Perhaps some sort of monthly fee with additional fees for completed projects. Not sure how long this would last, management is eyeing one of the big ERP packages. Our users like Quick Aviation . Would appreciate any additional feedback, plus am interested as to how other organizations might handle this situation....
