Ladies and gentlemen, After some 25 years I will be leaving Flexipol on 4th June after many years of happy development and bespoke software writing.
The last 2 years have been spent replacing all the bespoke software with a replacement system from Epicor and it has been a long, long process which I wanted to see through until my 70th next year but after the death of my mother last month I feel that it is no good having plans if you never reach the age to put them into practice. Anyone installing Epicor, you have my best wishes… you may need them!
I I know I haven’t participated in the group very much since the start of the pandemic, but this has been due to the immense effort put into trying to get the new software to be functionally identical to the bespoke VFP bespoke software. I intend to keep my VFP skills going as well as Visual Studio C# stuff with a select number of old clients dating back many, many years so I won’t disappear completely as they say!
Thanks to Ed for hosting the group over all these years and providing a community we have all used and can be proud of.
Now to register for the Virtual Foxfest whilst I remember and maybe catch some of you there.
Remember, nothing runs like a Fox…. Even a 40 year old one!
Thanks guys (and girls) for the past interactions.

Dave,
IMHO you’ve been one of the stars here since the beginning. Your willingness to dive in and offer solid advice as well as the various tools and things you’ve shared with the list over the years makes you a ProFox Livetime MVP®. All the best to you as you move on to the next chapter of your life, and I’m looking forward to seeing you at VFF next month!

Congratulations, Dave!
Anyone installing Epicor, you have my best wishes… you may need them!
I share similar sentiments with anyone replacing custom systems with off-the-shelf ERP, accounting or "generic" systems!
Thanks to Ed for hosting the group over all these years and providing a community we have all used and can be proud of.
Hear, hear!
Thanks guys (and girls) for the past interactions.
Back 'atcha, Dave.

Dave!
So I won’t disappear completely as they say!
Congrats on your well earned retirement. I haven't touched VFP in over a decade, yet still stop by to see how the group is doing. Hope to continue to see your around!
It is no good having plans if you never reach the age to put them into practice.
