Good question, Yes.

Do you have REPORTBEHAVIOR set to 90? -- rk -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech <profoxtech-bounces(a)leafe.com> On Behalf Of Philip Borkholder Sent: Monday, July 20, 2020 8:17 PM To: profoxtech(a)leafe.com Subject: Label Dynamic Back Color on objects Hi folks, Has anyone used the advanced scripting tab in Label Forms for an opaque rectangle to have it's backcolor read from a field in the cursor? I am generating RGB() settings in the underlying cursor to set the back color of a rectangle. I tried to create Property=BackColor and value =evaluate(labelbc) Where the field labelbc had RGB(255,0,148) etc. Thanks Philip B. Vicksburg, MI [excessive quoting removed by server]

NF Windows 11 ?
by Philip Borkholder 21 Jul '20

Has anyone heard or know anything about "Windows 11" being released on August 29, 2020? I just had a customer tell me they will be getting Windows 11 machines next month.... I found this: https://www.window11updates.com/ I thought Windows 10 was the main OS now for MS and they would just be releasing updates to it? If there is any truth to this, has anyone been testing any beta versions with VFP ? Thanks Philip B. Vicksburg, MI

Gartner
by MB Software Solutions, LLC 19 Jul '20

Got this from someone trying to connect with me on LinkedIn today: Hi Michael, I’m reaching out to better understand if MB Software Solutionswould be a fit to work with our analyst community for thought leadership and strategic insight. I am spearheading a new Gartner channel that focuses on high growth startups and emerging tech/service providers, and would love to discuss how Gartner can contribute to MB Software Solutions's continued growth. Do you have 30 minutes for a phone call this week or next to discuss this further? Kind regards, Devin Business Development Director* Gartner* gartner.com I have to say that Gartner *STILL* leaves a bad taste in my mouth, these 20+ years later. (For those unaware, Gartner could be attributed with shooting the arrow that killed Visual FoxPro.) -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Nim programming language - Python-like (sic) syntax that compiles to native executables or generates C or Typescript code. Looks interesting. Anyone have any hands-on experience?

Bizarre scenario solved by READWRITE clause on end of SELECT SQL
by MB Software Solutions, LLC 10 Jul '20

10 Jul '20

VFP9SP2 (build 7423) on Win2K12 Terminal Server client user. Screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/EYptATFR3ETW Client said app that they have used since 2016 is now acting strange. In short, a record count being reported about a cursor was now erroneous. Underlying cause I found was that VFP was just filtering on the underlying table, returning the record count of the actual DBF instead of the record count returned in the query. Solution was to add the READWRITE clause. *** mjb 06/24/2020 - dev note: select was settng _tally = 1 but yet RECCOUNT was using the Order.dbf instead! Solution was to add READWRITE clause. SELECT invoice ; FROM broker!order f1 ; WHERE vendor_id = liVendorID AND ven_inv = loRec.ven_inv ; INTO CURSOR cur2ndChance READWRITE IF RECCOUNT('cur2ndChance') = 1 THEN && found it llFound = .T. liLoadNum = cur2ndChance.invoice ELSE this.AddToExceptionReport(loRec, RECCOUNT('cur2ndChance')) ENDIF USE IN SELECT('cur2ndChance') && done with it Now again, keep in mind that this solution has been working for years...and when we did an update recently to the database (including the ORDER.dbf table), then this problem arose. We did NOT update this program! I vaguely recall the Foxperts here saying how VFP, rather than create a new cursor, would filtering the underlying DBF instead, but what puzzles me is why this solution worked for 4 years and then suddenly didn't?!??!?
