External Drive Encryption Software
by John Weller 19 May '16

19 May '16

I am doing some work with a local children's charity. They have an administrator who keeps all of the correspondence and reports, etc on her computer. When she goes on holiday a deputy takes over but doesn't have access to all of the data. I have offered a redundant external HDD that they could keep all of the data on and just transfer the drive to the deputy. Because the data is confidential the HDD will need to be encrypted. The solutions I have looked at so far seem to require software to be installed on the computer and I am not certain that the drive could be passed between two PCs. Ideally there would be some form of encryption with the software on the external drive. Can anyone suggest a suitable program? It would need to be cheap (free?) as, like all small charities, they don't have much money. Unfortunately BitLocker won't work as their OS are the Home version.

Dropdown Combobox not selecting behavior
by Tracy Pearson 19 May '16

19 May '16

Had a customer call in the other day and complain about this. Selecting something new in the dropdown doesn't always select the item clicked on. If you move to the selection and your mouse moves off the dropdown area when you let go of the mouse button, your click will not select the item. If you move to the selection and your mouse is still over the dropdown area when you let go of the mouse button, your click will successfully select the item. So, we let our customers know they need to stay within the lines, as they learned when they were coloring. Have a good one, Tracy

[ADMIN] Results of the Tour de Cure ride
by Edward Leafe 17 May '16

17 May '16

Yes, I'm still alive! ;-) I rode the full 103-mile course on Saturday, and wrote about it in my blog: http://blog.leafe.com/index.php/2016/05/16/the-second-century/ I did record the ride, but Runkeeper seemed to have a brain fart at the beginning of the ride. For some reason it didn't record a GPS signal, so it had me riding directly due east at the start: over lakes, highways, and through buildings! Then it jumped to the actual course and behaved the rest of the way. So it's missing 12 of the first 23 miles, and yes, I have people from Runkeeper looking into what happened. Here's the link: http://rnkpr.com/ad13iib Hint: click the full-screen icon in the top left to get rid of the annoying sign-up stuff. Thank you all so much for supporting me, and for donating to help such a worthy cause.

Shortcut to generalized click column for sort order browse?
by Joe Yoder 16 May '16

16 May '16

I need to present information from several tables. I want to enable the user to click on a column header to control the order in which the records are displayed. At this point it does not need to be very polished so a simple browse with scrolling, column resizing and repositioning, with control F find will be fine. A generalized routine like this that would handle most tables would be quite useful. Is there something available that I should use rather than reinventing the wheel?

Help with SQL optimization
by Joe Yoder 16 May '16

16 May '16

I have a process that starts out with a table of about 4300 records. An SQL select yields a cursor of only the records not already in a master table for processing and gradual addition to the master table. When the master table was empty my SQL results were sub second. Now that the master table has about 1350 records in it the SQL process takes between 15 and 16 seconds. My initial thought was that indexing each field in the master table should speed things up but that seems to have no effect. Here is the code: * Build a cursor of all records from the Receipts table that are not in the Master table SELECT *; FROM Receipts; WHERE (DTOC(dDate); + ALLTRIM(cName); + ALLTRIM(cType); + ALLTRIM(STR(nAmount,10,2)); + ALLTRIM(cAccount); + ALLTRIM(cClass); + ALLTRIM(cJobCust); + ALLTRIM(cNumber); + ALLTRIMm(Memo); + cSplit_id; NOT in; (select DTOC(dDate); + ALLTRIM(cName); + ALLTRIM(cType); + ALLTRIM(STR(nAmount,10,2)); + ALLTRIM(cAccount); + ALLTRIM(cClass); + ALLTRIM(cJobCust); + ALLTRIM(cNumber); + ALLTRIM(mMemo); + cSplit_id; FROM Master)); INTO CURSOR Batch READWRITE Suggestions welcome!

Hey - -- Does anyone still have this old program that came with some version of Fox (pre-windows?). If so, could someone please send it to me, or otherwise suggest a freebie alternative?

DBF Records on a Web Server and EXE on Local Box
by G Gambill 13 May '16

13 May '16

Is it possible to read web based DBF records (a limited number of records) on a local box. Memo fields do not apply such that converting the DBF file to an SQL might be better. If I can leave the data as a DBF, how do I do it? If SQL is better both short term and long term, how do I do that? Best conversion program and reading Web based SQL from a local box code suggestions? TIA George -- Success builds confidence.
