Anyone remember this?

Hi all, I was digging through some boxes and saw this shirt.. Too bad it no longer applies, that was a good decade.. J For those of you who don't get it, at one Devcon, a number of us realized that we were all turning 40 the same year. Which means that many of us are probably turning 60 this year.. Anyway, it's good to see all the chatter still going on this list!

SET ANSI OFF via the VFPOLEDB driver
by Fred Taylor 23 Mar '18

23 Mar '18

Does anybody know how to change the ANSI setting for the VFPOLEDB driver from .NET?. An ADO connection object can set the properties (oConn.Properties.Items("set ansi").Value) in VFP code, but the OLEDB connection object in .NET doesn't seem to allow access to these properties. Any Ideas? Fred --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Error 108 on an INSERT INTO MyVFPTable
by mbsoftwaresolutions＠mbsoftwaresolutions.com 22 Mar '18

22 Mar '18

VFP9SP2 app/Win10 Pro workstation/Win2012 Server Got a bug report from a client today that threw a 108 "File is in use by another user" on an INSERT INTO statement (all VFP9 dbc tables). Found it interesting that the VFP Help file says that's on a USE, DELETE, or RENAME command (but not INSERT INTO).

_VFP vs _SCREEN
by mbsoftwaresolutions＠mbsoftwaresolutions.com 22 Mar '18

22 Mar '18

(I checked the ProFox archive but searching for _VFP _SCREEN (with underscore, with underscored escaped, and without underscore) did not turn up any matches or at least the ones applicable). I know we've discussed this somewhere in the past but could not find the reference.) I was adding another "global" application attribute for a signal flag for later code to reference, and I realized I've always used the _SCREEN object. Would seem more logical to reference the _VFP object. Your thoughts on this design decision? tia, --Michael

Silent/behind-the-scenes installation of MariaDB from VFP (or from Inno Setup)
by mbsoftwaresolutions＠mbsoftwaresolutions.com 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

I'm going to be distributing a free single user (localhost) version of one of my VFP9SP2 fat client apps, and I'd like to install MariaDB behind the scenes easily (meaning without me having to manually install it on every machine). Does anyone have experience with exactly or something like this (preferably the former!) ? tia, --Mike

Testing tells the tale (SYS 3054) -- "BETWEEN(a,b,c)" equivalent to "a BETWEEN b and c"
by mbsoftwaresolutions＠mbsoftwaresolutions.com 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

VFP9SP2 WestWind WebConnection App on WinServer 2012 I was looking at a notoriously slow query to see about optimizing it. Using SYS(3054,11,"cmemvar"), I was able to do so, but during my testing, I found that using MyDate BETWEEN Arg1 and Arg1 was the same optimization-wise as BETWEEN(MyDate,Arg1,Arg2). Somewhere in history, I thought that using VFP's native BETWEEN(field,d1,d2) was NOT Rushmore friendly. However, testing with SYS(3054) showed otherwise! Just an interesting find this weekend for me whilst debugging. Carry on! --Mike

VFP Service
by Chris Davis 16 Mar '18

16 Mar '18

Hi All In the past I have followed this article https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/calvin_hsia/2004/12/13/creating-a-vfp-appl… Does anyone have any advice about how to approach this on Server 2016 as I believe SRVANY is no longer an option.

[NF] Reporting in Python (Django)
by Ajit Abraham 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Hello everybody, I am exploring Django for my next project. Most of the examples that I found is making the report in html and then exporting it to a pdf. Having worked (and still working) with Visual Foxpro reports, all these years, I am looking out for a similar experience with Django/Python. I tried Gaetan's Appy Framework which takes an odt document as template and merges with xml data to produce pdf via a service which has to run in the background. It is ok, but it is stuck with the old version of Python and I had great difficulty in attempting complex VFP type of reports. Then I looked at JasperReport. I can design the report using JasperReport Studio. But still there are too many steps involved in spitting out the pdf. Before I make the final leap to Jasper, I want to ask those who are working with Python - as to what they are using for a GUI reporting tool similar to VFP and that which does not involve a reporting service to be run in the background! Thanks Ajit Abraham
