VFP9 installation on a new machine
by Paul Newton 31 Oct '22

31 Oct '22

Hi all It's a long time since I had to install VFP9 and a couple of things have arisen. I installed the original RTM and applied SP2 but I have two different files, both purportedly SP2. VFP9.0sp2-KB925841-X86-Enu.exe (34.8MB) VFP9.0sp2-KB955370-X86-Enu.exe (1.9 MB) According to www.berezniker.com/ the one I need (and used) is the first one but I wondered if anybody knows anything about the other one (the KBs are no longer available even on the web archive). I then applied Hotfix 3 for SP2 - VFP90SP2-KB968409-ENU.EXE (10.8 MB) ActiveX security updates - VFP9.0sp2-KB958371-X86-Enu.exe (4.6 MB) GDIPLUS.DLL security updates - VFP9.0sp2-KB971105-X86-Enu.exe (1.9 MB) In the past I have also installed the VFPCOM utility,the OLE DB provider and MSXML 4.0 Service Pack 2 and I'm wondering if I should do so again. Any thoughts? Many thanks Paul Newton --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

dreaming of vfp and vscode integration
by Jeff Roberts 25 Oct '22

25 Oct '22

This morning I've been doing some refactoring (I use that term loosely) and listening to some guys talk in one of the rooms at Virtual Fox Fest. I'm splitting long lines and cleaning up comments, etc in vscode then switching over to VFP (Version 6 still I am ashamed to say) and compiling the prg to make sure I'm not getting any errors. I was thinking it would be convenient if I could make VFP compile the file I'm working on when I save it and then maybe have something look for ERR files to show up and send me a notification if it does. Does anyone have any experience doing something like this? I'd be willing to put some time into the tooling to do this. Seems like it is possible. I do realize I'd get a little more syntax checking with VFP6 and a lot more with VFP9, but I am more used to the text manipulation in vscode. Maybe I am just dreaming! -- Jeff Roberts | jefflroberts(a)gmail.com --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Anyone with C# (and obviously VFP) chops looking for a 99% remote gig ?
by Alan Bourke 14 Oct '22

14 Oct '22

I have had someone get in touch with the below on LinkedIn, I'm not going for it but if anyone fancies it I can give them your details: "I'm currently working with a well established multi-company group in the manufacturing domain who are looking for a C# Developer with experience in Visual FoxPro to work on a migration project for a large number of their internal applications. Following this FoxPro to C#.Net migration, there will be a lot of scope to work on new Cloud based projects in C#.Net. Good flexibility offered in the role, no red tape and working alongside a small team of 5 to accelerate this project forward." UK based, he says 99% remote working, £60k - £70k -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---
