[NF] Tool for editing multiple files for huge search/replace operation
by mbsoftwaresolutions＠mbsoftwaresolutions.com 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

Literally about 10 years ago, I'm pretty sure this list suggested a tool that I used to update several text files in a common folder; it was a big "replace text 123 with 456" kind of thing. But alas, my memory is failing me and I can't recall what the tool was called. Anybody know of such a tool to handle large search/replace across several text files in a same folder or even perhaps cascading tree of folders? tia, --Mike

This is stupid advice. An arbitrary number of indexes is not correct. Instead, determine how many indexes are required and create that many. >Keeping it simple, keeps it fast.

Such optimism. I am using PKZIP version 2.04g. At 25 years old, it may be older than some of those Microsoft programmers. It might work better, too. Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko

.h files included or excluded in your project?
by mbsoftwaresolutions＠mbsoftwaresolutions.com 25 Oct '18

25 Oct '18

VFP9SP2 Since .h #INCLUDE files are only utilized at build time, is there any reason you'd want to include the .h files in the EXE? I'm thinking "no."

Replacement for standard OLE image control
by Richard Kaye 24 Oct '18

24 Oct '18

I wish this had come up when I was at SWFox last week... As we all should know, the VFP OLE image control is...a bit long in the tooth. I just ran across an issue today with a client who was complaining that just recently some of his beautiful images are turning into pixelated goo. Of course, trying to figure out what is the underlying root cause is problematic at best. The display mechanism is reading a file from disk and using it as the source for a standard VFP OLE image control. So whilst I once again start my research out on the greater internet, I look to the collective wisdom here. Anybody using a 3rd party image control that does not have the underlying problems that come with using a native Windows control stuck in ~2003? Or otherwise have any other solutions for displaying JPGs in their UI? TIA -- rk --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

CleverFox backup tool
by mbsoftwaresolutions＠mbsoftwaresolutions.com 24 Oct '18

24 Oct '18

Hey ProFox Community, Just wanted to give an endorsement to Rick Schummer's and Frank Perez' automatic VFP backup product, CleverFox: https://cleverfoxbackup.com/ I use it for some of the Sylvan franchisees I support and it's been great. Not only is it affordable but it's super easy too. I had a couple issues at the start but that was just my needing to learn how to properly install it. Took less than an hour for sure. It's come in handy too on a couple of occasions when they needed me to restore some data that got tainted/overwritten wrongly. Cheers! --Michael

[NF] Microsoft Dynamics
by mbsoftwaresolutions＠mbsoftwaresolutions.com 23 Oct '18

23 Oct '18

Anyone here have a GOOD experience with Microsoft Dynamics? I just saw a former company of mine using it to replace an app I solidified years ago...and I gotta say, this replacement looks very rough...not user-friendly and klunky. Interested in your experience with it.
