Top-Level forms with Modal In-Top-Level forms
by Mike Copeland 24 Apr '16

24 Apr '16

All, I have that "seen it before" nagging feeling about this problem...that I've seen the problem discussed here but I haven't located any answers. I have a form set as "As Top-Level Form" I have a second, modal form, set as "In Top-Level Form" After closing the second, modal form with close button on the second form, the close button on the Top-Level Form is not clickable (dimmed out) so you can't click it and shut the program down. But if you click "somewhere else" on the desktop, anywhere other than the Top-Level Form of the Foxpro VFP9 SP2 application, then you CAN click back on the Top-Level form and the close button is bright red and can now be clicked and the program closes. What in the heck is causing that and more important what is the workaround? Thanks for any advice! Mike Copeland

Windows 10 and SAMBA 3 Surprise
by Ken Dibble 22 Apr '16

22 Apr '16

I have finally gotten around to testing a Win 10 box on my network. Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB (Long Term Servicing Branch) Evaluation version 10240 The first thing I tested was, could I use the registry hacks for Windows 7 and 8 to get the machine to join my SAMBA 3 NT-emulating "domain". The answer is..... YES! I can access network resources from this box just as I do on a Win 7 machine. This despite everything that everybody who should know about it has told me, including people I trust. Good thing I tested it, eh? For the record, the hacks are: HKLM\System\CCS\Services\LanManWorkstation\Parameters Add a new DWORD called "DomainCompatibilityMode" and set it to 1 Add a new DWORD called "DNSNameResolutionRequired" and set it to 0 Ken Dibble www.stic-cil.org

Outlook and iCloud
by John Weller 22 Apr '16

22 Apr '16

I use iCloud with Outlook 2010 and have been very pleased with the way it operates however yesterday, after the recent major Win 10 patch, I can no longer access my calendar and contacts - I get the message that the information store cannot be opened. I have tried uninstalling iCloud and re-installing but no joy. Googling doesn't seem to provide any sensible answers. Has anyone else experienced this? John John Weller 01380 723235 07976 393631

Water/Sewer billing software -- hopefully easy money opportunity
by mbsoftwaresolutions＠mbsoftwaresolutions.com 22 Apr '16

22 Apr '16

I created a water billing software back in 2008. Here's a demo of it: http://mbsoftwaresolutions.com/demos/h2office/rough_overview_viewlet_swf.ht… (I realize some of those screens go by a bit too quick.) I'd like to take this to the open market. If anyone would like to partner this with me, send me an email. You'll get a copy of the source code and 50% commission for clients you bring in with signed agreement. I think (I hope!) this could be easy money. I know it's 2016, but maybe there's a water authority out there who would buy this. VFP9SP3 with MySQL backend, designed in n-tier fashion. Could be adapted for outside the US too if good fit. (I'm not sure how they do things across the pond for this?) I've got just the one customer still using this. Thanks! --Mike

As promised, I'm not letting my missing my ride last fall stop me! I'm registered to ride in the 2016 Tour de Cure, which is a cycling event designed to raise money to help research for a cure for diabetes. The ride will take place on Saturday, May 14, 2016. http://tour.diabetes.org/site/PageServer?pagename=TC_homepage I'm planning on doing the 103 mile course, but getting back into that kind of shape will take a lot of work! So it would be great motivation to have all of you supporting me. Here is a list of the available courses: http://goo.gl/tjHq7E Of course, the goal isn't just getting my lazy butt into shape; it's to raise money to help lots of people. So if you can afford a few dollars, please go to my donation page and donate what you can. http://goo.gl/CSZfcB Thanks for your continued support! -- Ed Leafe --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/signed text/plain (text body -- kept) application/pgp-signature ---

[NF] 'Tailing' log files.
by Alan Bourke 19 Apr '16

19 Apr '16

I log the hell out of everything to text files for debug and diagnostic purposes. Linux has a useful command called 'tail' which when used with the 'f' switch in a shell will continually display the bottom of a file, and automatically scroll it upwards as new entries are added. If you want a Windows alternative you can use PowerShell (as long as you're Windows 7 or later) Open a PowerShell prompt, change to the location of your log file and do: Get-Content .\mylogfile.log -wait -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Norton will not let me send EXE - Need help fast
by Wes Wilson 19 Apr '16

19 Apr '16

I zip up an exe and send it to my customer as I have done for years. Last week, Norton would not let my customer unzip it. The "Run anyway" did not work. Norton deleted the exe. So I gave the exe a txt extension. Same thing. Did not even let us rename it to exe. It deleted is. We both have the latest version of Norton. Any suggestions?

[NF] Backup Software
by John Weller 19 Apr '16

19 Apr '16

I am trying to install some backup software for a friend. The app I have used in the past is SyncToy which is very good at mirroring folders to a backup location however for some reason it won't install on his machine. It demands Net Framework version 2.61 (I think) but his PC has Net Framework version 4. I've heard that SyncToy can be a bit temperamental :-) My question is - can anyone recommend something as easy to use as SyncToy for someone who is a novice? I've looked at EaseUS ToDo but that stores the backup files as compressed files rather than in their native format like SyncToy. Thanks John John Weller 01380 723235 07976 393631
