Fwd: VFP9 SP2 run a batch file

sry, that should have gone to the list. Here it is -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: VFP9 SP2 run a batch file Date: Thu, 16 Dec 2021 20:29:35 -0500 From: Ken McGinnis <kamcginnis(a)gmail.com> To: Ted Roche <tedroche(a)gmail.com> Ted, Thank you for that. I needed a place to start looking. I have not yet changed to win11. I had so much trouble with win10 that I decided to wait until I hear that the thing is working. I think I'll look for a workaround for now. First step is to get more specific information.

Kinda tough for folks here to do anything other than offer sympathy without the fine details. 😊 -- rk From: ProfoxTech <profoxtech-bounces(a)leafe.com<mailto:profoxtech-bounces@leafe.com>> On Behalf Of Ken McGinnis Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2021 4:56 PM To: profoxtech(a)leafe.com<mailto:profoxtech@leafe.com> Subject: VFP9 SP2 run a batch file Good question.

looking for a multi-user alternative to view gmail emails
by Ken McGinnis 16 Dec '21

16 Dec '21

looking for a multi-user alternative (to MS Exchange) to view gmail emails For more than 10 years I have been using a gmail account for users to send support questions. I had that gmail account linked (somehow) to MS Exchange hosted by Rackspace. This was recommended by someone on this list. It has been working for >10 years and I have long-since forgotten how I set all that stuff up. Now Rackspace no longer supports Exchange 2007 and the Outlook 2007 client that we use to access exchange and see the emails that came into gmail. Hope that makes sense. I think it should be simple to have imap and/or POP in the gmail account activated (which it/they is/areprofox(a)leafe.com) It seems like Exchange should be able to 'poll' the gmail server and download the email (hope that makes sense). Somehow the people at Rackspace don't know what I am talking about?? the support person today says I need to set up MX records in gmail so gmail will send to exchange? that does not make any sense to me. I admit that I may not be the youngest person on this list, but I am still alive and I love VFP and most of the support issues. Anyone out there know what I am missing? Thx in advance Ken -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

sftp for vfp6?
by Jeff Roberts 10 Dec '21

10 Dec '21

Could anyone recommend a class or control I can use to add the ability to send a file using sftp without too much complication to a VFP6 app? The ocx we've using forever only does FTP. I looked at the old version of West Wind Client Tools that works with VFP 6 but it looks like it only does FTP as well. -- Jeff Roberts | jefflroberts(a)gmail.com --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

[NF] Compatibility tab missing from file properties in Explorer
by paul.newton.hudl＠gmail.com 02 Dec '21

02 Dec '21

Hi all I have tried two methods to restore the compatibility tab in Windows 10 In Local Group Policy Editor ~ Computer Configuration ~ Administrative Templates ~ Windows Components ~ Application Compatibility I have set "Remove Program Compatibility Property Page" to disabled. In the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppCompat I have added the DWORD DisablePropPage and set the value to 0 (Hex). I have restarted Explorer and restarted my computer but still the Compatibility tab is missing. I can set compatibility mode using the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter but it is very long-winded. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Paul Newton --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

ReFox Or Something Like It
by Paul H. Tarver 19 Nov '21

19 Nov '21

Ok, confession time: I've never had to un-compile a Foxpro .exe file. I've prided myself on doing a pretty good job of backing up and protecting my source code. Until today when I ran into a situation with a client who has an application I last compiled in 2018. At some point after that compilation, I must have accidently deleted one of the forms used by the application. I still have a previous copy of the form from 2016, but there changes made in between. I've checked every backup I have and apparently the deletion must have occurred more than a year ago. I was aware that ReFox exists and since I do have the 2018 version of the compiled application, I figured I would try ReFox to extract the form so I could edit the 2016 version of the form to update the old version to the latest version. However, every time I try to download the latest version of Refox, it gets either blocked by my browser or it immediately gets deleted by my antivirus even though I've told both to allow the download. So my question is this: Is ReFox the way to go or is there another way I can accomplish this? Thanks in advance! Paul H.

Major improvements in the Forms side of .NET. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/whats-new-in-windows-forms-in-net-6-0/ I haven't done a forms based app for others in decades but you guys and possibly gals still do. Here is a code base that keeps getting improvements and or updates and will allow you to write for linux or mac as well. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Analyst Ring Container Technology Oakland TN 901.246-0159 cell --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Reprots Field Properties override options
by Tracy Pearson 18 Nov '21

18 Nov '21

Hello everyone, Is there something someone has already done to override the Fox Pro reports Field Properties and Page Setup dialogs? When the application is configured to be DPI Aware, these will not bitmap scale and become fuzzy. They remain small and unreadable. There are other issues with the report writer as well that may need to addressed in VFP A. Thank you, Tracy
