Re: Resetting VFP

Depending on the kind of hang, killing VFP with task manager should suffice, but if in the process of hanging you add a bad programming practices, bad or no garbage collection, bad use of PC resources and intermitent hangings that can corrupt RAM, then power off/on is the final solution.

We have a legacy application on Production, with +20 years of bad modifications that slowly consumes Server resources and do not restore them, even if restarting the app, so every week we need to reset de Server :-(

Hello:

 Sometimes, the coding is a breeze, and sometimes, it is not.

 Suppose, because of bugs, incomplete functionality, etc., you have

just hung up VFP.

 Is there a way to reset VFP?  Something that always works?

 I know I can abort it and then restart it, but I have had to do so

dozens of times. The thrill palls.

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko
