One of the testers here recently discovered a bit of code that when broken down did this:
?(Date() + INT(1 / 0) ) > Date(9999,12,31)
It returns true. However, put that actual value in printed form and it displays as " / / "
Just something for the oddities in your VFP collection.

Dividing by zero basically generates a numeric overflow. Add that to date() and you get nonsense. I'm a little surprised it doesn't throw an error as opposed to what looks like a blank date, which in and of itself is an xBase oddity. :-)
OTOH supporting my code in the year 9999 is not something I'm going to worry about...

VFP date variables can have a little "something extra" if the value added to a date variable is not an integer. Date fields don't have this.
m.d1 = DATE() m.d2 = m.d1 + .01 ? m.d1=m.d2 && shows .f.

Which value? The LHS?
The LHS, however it displays, is not equal to {}, so what is it?

Dividing by 0 is naughty.

Hey folks, Has anyone else experienced this error: "This app can't run on your PC"
Our VFP9 App ran fine on Servers 2003, 2008 for Terminal Server with the drive mapped as F:\AppFolder\App.EXE
Now when they upgraded to Server 2012, we get this error when running on a mapped drive, but if we use the full local drive path of the server: E:\Data\Appfolder\App.exe
It runs fine.
Does anyone know what part of Server 2012 is causing this block?
Thanks, Philip Borkholder

Philip,
Is your EXE digitally signed with a 256 bit key?
Tracy Pearson PowerChurch Software
Is the non working EXE exactly the same size as the working one?
It is the exact same one. What does not work is to run it from a mapped, shared folder. It only works running it with the direct local path. In this case, the TS is the same server as the File Server luckily.

If you do consider signing the EXE, be sure to shop around for the best price. This company was the best price that I found when I was searching. http://codesigning.ksoftware.net/

Try running the EXE in UNC Path rather than the mapped folder.
