looking for a multi-user alternative to view gmail emails
by Ken McGinnis 16 Dec '21

16 Dec '21

looking for a multi-user alternative (to MS Exchange) to view gmail emails For more than 10 years I have been using a gmail account for users to send support questions. I had that gmail account linked (somehow) to MS Exchange hosted by Rackspace. This was recommended by someone on this list. It has been working for >10 years and I have long-since forgotten how I set all that stuff up. Now Rackspace no longer supports Exchange 2007 and the Outlook 2007 client that we use to access exchange and see the emails that came into gmail. Hope that makes sense. I think it should be simple to have imap and/or POP in the gmail account activated (which it/they is/areprofox(a)leafe.com) It seems like Exchange should be able to 'poll' the gmail server and download the email (hope that makes sense). Somehow the people at Rackspace don't know what I am talking about?? the support person today says I need to set up MX records in gmail so gmail will send to exchange? that does not make any sense to me. I admit that I may not be the youngest person on this list, but I am still alive and I love VFP and most of the support issues. Anyone out there know what I am missing?

[NF] Windows 10 Home networking and Explorer
by paul.newton.hudl＠gmail.com 26 Sep '21

Hi all I am afraid that I have been rather quiet since being made redundant at the end of February but I am now having a problem with "Network" in File Explorer. This is the setup: Virgin Hub 3 connected via cable to DesktopPC, Laptop, US robotics Mini NAS adapter and Netgear Powerline adapter I have an external drive (STORAGE-0001) connected via USB to the NAS adapter. On both the desktop and the laptop Network in File Explorer shows Media Devices(1) Sorage-0001 which when opened shows the NAS manager in a browser window/tab Network Infrastructure (1) ARRIS TG2492LG-85 Router which when opened shows the Hub 3 settings in a browser window/tab On the Desktop, Network in File Manager shows Computers (3) DesktopPC Laptop Storage-001 (which when opened shows the shared Public folder on the external drive) However, on the Laptop, Network in File Manager shows Computers (1) which is the laptop itself and when opened shows its shared folder(s). DesktopPC and Storage-0001 are not shown but can be opened by typing their network names (\\ DesktopPC and \\Storage-0001 <file://Storage-0001> ) into the Explorer address bar. After searching and trying all manner of suggestions I am still unable to resolve the issue (I am not even sure whether changes are required on the laptop or the desktop or both). I can provide further information if needed. Any help or suggestions would be highly appreciated. Many thanks, and apologies for the length of the message Paul Newton --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

"Eric Rapaport" at Microsoft
by Eric Selje 23 Sep '21

23 Sep '21

In my current security role I get all the strange emails forwarded to me, and this one I got today took the cake because it didn't really seem to have a purpose. It was from an "Eric Rapaport", former CIA. It listed off all his credentials, which were many. But there was no ask to the email at all. Very weird. A quick Google shows this guy has been spamming for years. This result in particular <https://blog.dynamoo.com/2007/05/eric-rapaport-spam.html> is interesting because he claims to have been one of the authors of Visual FoxPro 3.0 while he worked at Microsoft. Anyone ever heard of this guy? Get spammed by this guy? What's your take?

Hi, everybody. I'm looking for a new email provider, and I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with Greatmail.com.

by Rick Schummer 22 Sep '21

22 Sep '21

Thanks to all who have already registered for Virtual Fox Fest; we appreciate your support and our speakers are excited to share all their sessions with you all soon. There is less than a month until the first day of the conference! That said, we know there are procrastinators who have not registered and have good intentions to do so before the conference starts. Please, please, please do so sooner than later. Our hard-working registration staff of one is also a presenter who is practicing and refining his session, and has more than a full-time job working on customer projects. In case you are procrastinating, please register for Virtual Fox Fest before October 1st. Three good reasons: 1. Save yourself $50! 2. Our registration staff has a super busy October and would appreciate you saving $50. Not joking. 3. If you wait until the week of the conference to register, you might not get your credentials until just before the first session on October 14th. You'll miss all the details about the conference we'll be sharing over the next few weeks, as well as chance to read white papers and download the examples before the conference starts. It literally takes just a few minutes to register. We'd hate to see you miss the opportunity to get a head start on all the goodies. Go get registered! Now, really, don't waste another minute. Here is the link: http://geekgatherings.com/registration. Virtual Fox Fest is October 14, 20, and 26, 2021! Rick White Light Computing, Inc. www.whitelightcomputing.com

Data transfer design Data transfer design (VFP to Google Sheets)
by Joe Yoder 20 Sep '21

20 Sep '21

I have VFP code that combines multiple events recorded on a phone app into a single Timeline table. The final step in the code is to copy to type XL5. Each time the code is run to include new data, the output file is written with the same name I opened the resulting file in Google sheets with the data in the first tab called DATA. Subsequent tabs query the DATA tab to produce charts with various combinations of events for various time frames. The charts can be exported as PDFs for external use. My issue is figuring out the best way to update the data in the Sheets file as new data is available. Here are some considerations and ideas: · Each time I upload the data file to Google Drive the same filename is assigned to a different file (all with the same name.) The only way I have found to determine which is the authority is to look at the last modified time. This seems like an invitation to user errors. Perhaps there is a configuration change to avoid this behavior. · Sheets has the capability to query data from an unopened table if its URL is specified in the query. Wiping and reimporting the data appears to be a workable approach but it requires finding the correct file to import to the DATA sheet with the specified URL used to hold the data, · Another possibility might be to open the table from VFP in Sheets and record the URL on the clipboard and then open the Sheets file containing the chart specs and update the URL in the query. · Another might be to copy the data to the clipboard and then paste it into a DATA tab on the Charts sheet. · Finally, I’m wondering if there is a way to write the data onto the clipboard from VFP and then paste it directly into the Sheets Chart sheet. This would eliminate the nuisance of uploads and filename confusion. · A pure VFP approach would eliminate the need for data transfer, but I chose the Google approach because I am new to charts and because I wanted to learn about Google’s capabilities. Any suggestions welcome! Thanks in advance - Joe --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---
