"Eric Rapaport" at Microsoft
by Eric Selje 23 Sep '21

23 Sep '21

In my current security role I get all the strange emails forwarded to me, and this one I got today took the cake because it didn't really seem to have a purpose. It was from an "Eric Rapaport", former CIA. It listed off all his credentials, which were many. But there was no ask to the email at all. Very weird. A quick Google shows this guy has been spamming for years. This result in particular <https://blog.dynamoo.com/2007/05/eric-rapaport-spam.html> is interesting because he claims to have been one of the authors of Visual FoxPro 3.0 while he worked at Microsoft. Anyone ever heard of this guy? Get spammed by this guy? What's your take?

Mike, Yes, I use them at work (I am the IT Director) and I have about 55 mailboxes. I dealt with Ryan and he is very responsive. I haven't had a single issue since I switched over 6 months ago.

Hi, everybody. I'm looking for a new email provider, and I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with Greatmail.com. They seem to have all the features I need, and they only cost $1.00 per mailbox per month.

Data transfer design Data transfer design (VFP to Google Sheets)
by Joe Yoder 20 Sep '21

20 Sep '21

I have VFP code that combines multiple events recorded on a phone app into a single Timeline table. The final step in the code is to copy to type XL5. Each time the code is run to include new data, the output file is written with the same name I opened the resulting file in Google sheets with the data in the first tab called DATA. Subsequent tabs query the DATA tab to produce charts with various combinations of events for various time frames. The charts can be exported as PDFs for external use. My issue is figuring out the best way to update the data in the Sheets file as new data is available. Here are some considerations and ideas: · Each time I upload the data file to Google Drive the same filename is assigned to a different file (all with the same name.) The only way I have found to determine which is the authority is to look at the last modified time. This seems like an invitation to user errors. Perhaps there is a configuration change to avoid this behavior. · Sheets has the capability to query data from an unopened table if its URL is specified in the query. Wiping and reimporting the data appears to be a workable approach but it requires finding the correct file to import to the DATA sheet with the specified URL used to hold the data, · Another possibility might be to open the table from VFP in Sheets and record the URL on the clipboard and then open the Sheets file containing the chart specs and update the URL in the query. · Another might be to copy the data to the clipboard and then paste it into a DATA tab on the Charts sheet. · Finally, I’m wondering if there is a way to write the data onto the clipboard from VFP and then paste it directly into the Sheets Chart sheet. This would eliminate the nuisance of uploads and filename confusion. · A pure VFP approach would eliminate the need for data transfer, but I chose the Google approach because I am new to charts and because I wanted to learn about Google’s capabilities. Any suggestions welcome! Thanks in advance - Joe --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

VFP equivalent of SQL Server 'script table'
by Alan Bourke 03 Sep '21

03 Sep '21

In MSSQL you can script a table out to a Transact SQL script, including all CREATE statements and multiple INSERT statements for the data. Is there a VFP equivalent that anyone knows of? This is for including test data in source control, it's better to have a PRG that can generate the database than adding binary DBF files etc. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

[NF] - Is Bigger Always Better When It Comes To Your Monitors? :)
by Paul H. Tarver 26 Aug '21

26 Aug '21

I've been using dual monitors for many years now, but I've been working with monitors with two different layouts. Both monitors were 22" wide but the primary monitor was more square format whereas my secondary monitor has more of a wide screen format. Apparently, after I started talking about upgrading my gear, the main monitor heard me, got mad and decided to give up the ghost yesterday. Fortunately, I had a used 27" monitor on hand which I stuck in place temporarily and the size and brightness and contrast have been a huge improvement. In fact, this used monitor is making my secondary monitor look like crap. So, my question is this: What size monitors are you using for development and how many? The new computer I've purchased has 2 Display Ports, 1 HDMI and 1 VGA. So I'm considering getting two matching monitors which support Display Ports. Any comments, thoughts or suggestions about Display Ports? Thanks in advance! Paul H.
