vfp and thor set up on a clean windows 11 machine
by Jeff Roberts 18 Aug '23

18 Aug '23

Happy Friday everyone! Does anybody happen to have notes they'd be willing to share on setting up a new machine with Visual Foxpro 9, Thor, and maybe other must-haves for you? I recently set up a new laptop, and I am getting an odd error from Thor. It got me to thinking I might not do things in the right or maybe I've missed a step that the pros do. I don't think I've seen anyone else's install/setup routine since I set up a gofoxgo.prg at startup from something I read in a Whil Hentzen book. I am pretty sure that was VFP6, so it was a while back. Bonus points if your setup notes address having to keep multiple versions of Foxpro around or a west wind dev setup. Maybe Foxpro installation on a clean machine would be a good Southwest Fox session ?!? -- Jeff Roberts | jefflroberts(a)gmail.com --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Datamatrix barcode generation
by Philip Borkholder 16 Aug '23

16 Aug '23

Hello all, It's been awhile since I posted a question. I've been using the utility FoxBarCode.prg and FoxBarCodeQR.prg for multiple bar codes including QR Codes. I need to print a datamatrix 2D barcode. Does anyone have a routine that can accomplish that? Thanks in advance, Philip B. Bison Tech Plus Vicksburg, MI

Southwest Fox 2023: URGENT Early-Bird registration deadline looms!
by Rick Schummer 16 Aug '23

16 Aug '23

SET URGENT ON WILL SOUTHWEST FOX 2023 TAKE PLACE? THAT DEPENDS ON YOU. We have to decide by August 31 whether to hold Southwest Fox 2023 or not. So far, registration for both the in-person and virtual conferences has been slow. We have three options: a hybrid conference as planned, a virtual conference only, or no conference. If you want us to decide to hold the conference, register (for either the in-person or virtual event) before **August 30**. Credit cards will not be charged until September. If you are registering for the in-person conference, DO NOT book travel until you hear our decision. Please head over to the registration Web site today: https://geekgatherings.com/Registration Don't miss this chance to learn from the best and mix with your peers. XSharp Free Post-Conference Session: The XSharp Team is planning a Sunday afternoon (10/22) vendor session called "Migrating Your VFP App to .NET with X#." Check out our Workshops page (https://swfox.net/workshops.aspx) for all the up-to-date details. If you've already registered for the conference and want to attend this session, email register(a)geekgatherings.com and we'll add you to the post-conference list. Only 64 days until we hope to gather in Scottsdale! Rick White Light Computing, Inc.

Chilkat Version 95 released yesterday
by Bill Anderson 10 Aug '23

10 Aug '23

...for those that are interested. ChilkatVFP has some version 95 methods/properties already in the latest version, but that doesn't appear to be "enough" for a release. I have to wait for the release notes to catch all the documented changes/additions...

[NF] Unusal WHERE clause
by Garrett Fitzgerald 02 Aug '23

02 Aug '23

I just had cause to write the following, because it fit into the framework slightly better than the procedural equivalent would have. It's code to clear out a hash table on a weekly basis to provide a delta export: DELETE FROM ps_um_accom_std_hsWHERE to_char(sysdate, 'DAY') = rpad('SATURDAY', 9); --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---
