Finding geographical areas around a city name or zip code
by mbsoftwaresolutions＠mbsoftwaresolutions.com 25 Mar '17

25 Mar '17

(to be done in VFP9SP2 existing app) Customer need: to grab/query towns near a certain zip code or city name, akin to like when you use an app where you're looking for a car and say "show me matches within 50 miles." I'm thinking latitude/longitude and google somehow, but I thought I'd poll the community to see what you'd recommend. Thanks! --Mike

R.I.P. Marcia Akins
by Jean Laeremans 17 Mar '17

17 Mar '17

Some of you who participate on the Universal Thread might already be aware of this. This morning Andy Kramek emailed me and told me of the very untimely passing of Marcia Akins. He asked me to post the following message on his behalf: *I am sorry to tell you that Marcia died peacefully and without stress or discomfort at just after 11:00 am this morning (Sunday 12 March) in the hospital at the University of Arkansas For Medical Sciences (UAMS). She collapsed last Saturday at the airport on the way to visit her sister and was taken to hospital. She was diagnosed with Hyponatremia (low Sodium) which it appears either caused, or was caused by, severe acute hepatitis. Unfortunately she did not respond to treatment and declined suddenly and rapidly. She didn’t suffer at all and her end was so peaceful that her friend Joanie and I, who were both with her, didn’t even realize that she had stopped breathing for several minutes. She will, in accordance with her wishes be cremated, and we will be holding some sort of memorial for her and a wake (you know how much Marcia loved a good party) sometime in the not-too-distant future here in Hot Springs Village. No flowers please, and if anyone wishes to make a donation in her name, her favorite charity was Disabled American Veterans. * My apologies if I've posted this in the wrong category area. Very sad news. Kevin --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

You may have to -- shudder -- kludge. If someone comes up with a non-kludge, use that in preference to this. On a misbehaving system, try adding a sleep(10000) between each statement. Does the problem still occur? If so, come up with something else to stick in a delay that gets rid of the problem. If it is response-related, try a keyboard-messagebox() sequence. If not or after finding an alternative delay method, start removing the delays until you find where the problem triggers. Keep that one. You might shave the time down some, too. (I selected 10 seconds as overkill*.) After getting it to the minimal number of delays, try removing them all. This might work. Why? Who knows? * Gene's Law of Overkill: First, you have to kill. Only then can you overdo it. [snip] Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko
