[NF] Macbook Upgrade
by Ken Kixmoeller (ProFox) 05 Feb '21

05 Feb '21

Hi, All -- - Long time, etc. ;-) Been over 5 years of official retirement (actual a bit less). Still watch the list for nostalgia, but I have nothing useful to contribute (OK -- all at once: "As usual!") Question for Ed and the Mac-tolerant: My mid-2014 MacBook is tired and literally falling apart. I want to modernize a bit ("Oh! to have a battery last more than 30 minutes..."). New MacBook with a big drive is $4-$5,000 depending on the drive. My criteria are: 1. I really don't need big power any more -- I surf and do the occasional audio/video/image editing. What power I have is enough. 2. I want mega-storage. A 4TB drive or more would be the best. (Currently I have a have an external drive literally Velcro'ed to the underside.) I could add an internal one, but most of the laptop-size internal drives seem to be targeted at NAS systems (https://tinyurl.com/y2hh3qhz) I am too far out of the hardware loop to comprehend why a NAS-targeted drive is different or wouldn't work in a laptop. 3. I still want a big screen -- a combination of preference and old eyes. 4. Happy for a refurb. or whatever if the source is reputable. I can replace the drive (if #2). 5. Yes, it is possible that I would go back to the Windows or Linux universes, but for now I want to stay the course (I use Parallels to do Windows/Linux). 6. I need to stay mobile -- we move around quite a bit. Recommendations? Half-baked ideas? Warmest regards to all -- still grateful after all these years for your camaraderie and generosity. (Special shout-out to wOOdy, harking back to the CompuServe days.) Ken Kix --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Setting Class Libraries
by Philip Borkholder 15 Jan '21

15 Jan '21

Hi all, Quick question that I can't remember the hierarchy. Situation: Running a VFP App compiled in an EXE. This EXE has a VCX class library file compiled into it that the author used. If I have a newer version of the VCX that performs some of the methods cleaner/faster than the one the author used, Can I simply place the newer VCX into the root of the application folder? Will the newer VCX take precedence when the SET CLASSLIBRARY TO command runs in the EXE? Thanks Philip B Vicksburg, MI

Automation & Office 365
by Frank Cazabon 15 Jan '21

15 Jan '21

Hi, I've got an old VFP app that uses Word 2007 to do a mail merge using automation. The client has now moved to Office 365 and of course this breaks the automation. I am seeing some evidence that if the 32 bit of Office 365 is installed locally then the automation should work. Office 365 and OLE Word Merge in Visual Foxpro Application (microsoft.com) <https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/496b97f2-239b-4981-b7c5-8819…> Has anyone actually got this to work? If not, what alternatives are there for generating Word documents from VFP? -- Frank.

Somehow that calculation is broken. It lists me as the one with the most started threads. Definitely not true ... It also can't get my name / umlaut correctly.
