looking docs or code for reading and exporting vfp menus that I can understand
by Jeff Roberts 10 Nov '21

10 Nov '21

I've inherited a couple of fairly large VFP apps and I have been trying to read the menu files and build some documentation automatically. I am more or less wanting to process a mnx file to build either a tree-view type document or just a plain text list that includes how to get to the menu item and what command it runs. I have looked at the code for genmenu, genmenux, the oop menu project on vfpx, as well as a few snippets I found online but I am still very confused on what the records and fields mean. I didn't think I was too bad of a FoxPro programmer but trying to trace the code in genmenu makes me feel pretty dumb honestly. I can get at the prompt and the command it runs without too much issue but I am struggling trying to document the hierarchy (from the main menu to an option on a submenu or sub-submenu. Could anyone point me to some documentation for foxpro menu tables, or some fairly simple code I could read to try and wrap my head around how it works?

My Fox seemed to have that deer in the headlights after some FRX testing. Got this error after trying to quit after selecting each of the datasessions open: https://www.screencast.com/t/eVtnBdvsvmt I think I at least deserve a t-shirt for that or something.

Thanks Woody! ---------- Original Message ---------- From: J�rgen Wondzinski <juergen(a)wondzinski.de> To: profoxtech(a)leafe.com Subject: AW: [NF] Windows 10 32 bit on current Hardware Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2021 15:56:16 +0100 I don't know any reason, why a regular PC would block installation of a 32Bit Windows version. Haven't heard about that. If everything fails, you could always just install a Win32 version in a local HyperV or VM-Player. wOOdy -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: ProFox <profox-bounces(a)leafe.com> Im Auftrag von Philip Borkholder Gesendet: Donnerstag, 4.

They say neither AMD nor Intel are allowing the 32 bit installation to start. Has anyone run into this recently? Does anyone have any suggestions or work arounds?

Thanks Alan, I'm aware of that. I had asked these guys to install it themselves and not rely on the OEM purchase. They could not get the 64 bit hardware to even recognise the installer. I found this info after I first sent the email and since I don't work with hardware, I'm not sure how significant this is. I sent it to them. Only 64 Bit Windows OS support a UEFI Boot, so if you want to install 32 Bit you will need to use a Legacy Boot. In the UEFI BIOS Setup you need: • Disable Secure Boot • Enable Legacy a Legacy Boot • Enable Legacy ROMS The Bootable USB should be made with Rufus. Use: • The MBR Partition Scheme • NTFS Format ---------- Original Message ---------- From: "Alan Bourke" <alanpbourke(a)fastmail.fm> To: profoxtech(a)leafe.com Subject: Re: [NF] Windows 10 32 bit on current Hardware Date: Thu, 04 Nov 2021 14:48:14 +0000 They have stopped releasing 32 bit OEM builds as of Windows 10 2004. So all new machines from OEMs are 64 bit, as are all OEM installers. It could be that. I bet an off the shelf 32 bit consumer SKU would work. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm On Thu, 4 Nov 2021, at 2:38 PM, Philip Borkholder wrote: > Hello, > > I have a customer who is still running a FoxPro 2.6 application and has > been for years. > Their hardware is getting old and their IT/Network group is telling me > that they've tried to install WIndows 10 32 bit on several new > workstations and both Intel and AMD CPU based PC's are denying the > ability to install the 32 bit version of Windows 10. > They say neither AMD nor Intel are allowing the 32 bit installation to > start. > > Has anyone run into this recently?

I'm hoping somebody has my Halloween costume pic from GLGDW (WhilFest) back in either 2002 or 2003? I can't recall which one was at Halloween time.

Slow performance after moving to VM
by Chris Davis 26 Oct '21

26 Oct '21

Hi All Has anyone got any suggestions as to where the problem maybe in the following scenario. We have a VFP application, using DBC/DBF's on a windows server, it has been running fine and quick for years. Various windows clients (all now Windows 10). The server was a physical server but has now been replaced with a virtual machine hosted on a HyperV machine on premises. Most of the 20 clients are still running fine, but a handful (3 identified) at the moment are running really slow, they are only running slow in the VFP application any other use of the server like copying files runs fine. They also seem to be the better spec'd machines out of the 20. Nothing has changed on the client pc's other than the unc path where the application is looking for the data. Any suggestions? TIA Chris. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---
