I am using VFP 8.0.  I have a textbox that has some value.  How can I check if that value changed from original value?

thanks

I have an application using MSXML to retrieve data from a web site. On Successful receipt I 'PUT' an XML document to the web site confirming this and the data is cleared from the web site.

Subsequent retrievals then exclude documents previously downloaded.

However within the same application data session I am getting replicated downloads even though all objects related to the download are released after successful download and recreated each time a download process is started.

When I close and restart the application the correct data position is returned.

A combobox control I am adding to a Visual Foxpro 9 form shows only the first item in the list.
I am creating a two column array from a table, and the debugger shows all rows are created.
If the record in main table in the form is tied to that first item, the item shows up in the control.
If not, the control is blank.
I can drop down the list, pick the one item, and it will now be tied to the main table in the save procedure, and appear in the combo box if I call up that record again.
So the create array procedures and save procedures seem to be working, but I am only seeing the first record in the array on the form. .
I have used this combobox class for many years, although not recently.

RoWSource is 'this.aitems' which seems to be created properly.
RowSourceType is 5-Array

Any thoughts?

Microsoft have created a Printer Class described here

It gives the invocation syntax for C#, C++, F# and VB

Anyone know how to invoke it in VFP?

I have a client asking about their VFP app being able to export data to QuickBooks.  I am wondering if anyone has suggestions on how to best go about making that work, using 3rd party tools or otherwise?

I have a client asking about their VFP app with a SQL backend database being able to import/export data from SalesForce (www.salesforce.com).  I am wondering if anyone has suggestions on how to best go about making these tasks work, using 3rd party tools or otherwise?

Code above used VFPOLEDB driver. This driver should be installed on machine explicitly.
When I put my WPF application on common drive and ask users to access it, they also got to install VPFOLEDB. Is there a other than installing this MSI on all client machines.
Tried using JET OLEDB. It gives an error saying 'Cannot execute a Select Query'.

I have a Visual FoxPro program running. it uses a local cursor engine.
To use the program from home, people use a VPN solution (openVPN)

Using this, we have poor performance.
We use lines with a 200mbit down and 50 mbit upload speed.  (vendor = Telenet Belgium)

The database has a traffic of 100mbyte totally  during a complete session, so it should fly.
However: on a 100Mbit network it works realtime. response times are very low.

Using openVPN, response times are like minutes.
The internet connection is real fast. So OpenVPN is what slows us down.

I put send and receive buffers to 0 in both server and ws config file. This fastenes the systyem up, but far..  far from enough.

There must be other settings to speed openVPN traffic up. But what can I do?

I have this csv file which i want to convert into foxpro table.

The first row is a header, The second row is details.

Will like some advice on how to go about it.20180807_144846.csv

Thank you in advance.

I need to link an access database to what i think is a visual foxpro table the data is from an accounting program in foxpro
which is called Pegasus Opera version 2

I have managed to convert the table into a csv format then into MS ACCESS  but I could do with a live link if possible

Many Thanks

I am having a problem with seeks not working on descending indexes key values.

I set up my DBE as follows:

SET COLLATION TO AMERICAN Dbeload( "ADSDBE", .F. ) DbeSetDefault( "ADSDBE" )

// FOXCDX compatibility - .CDX/.FPT DbeInfo( COMPONENT_DATA , ADSDBE_TBL_MODE, ADSDBE_CDX ) DbeInfo( COMPONENT_ORDER, ADSDBE_TBL_MODE, ADSDBE_CDX )

// Use server rights not user rights DbeInfo( COMPONENT_DATA, ADSDBE_RIGHTS_MODE, ADSDBE_IGNORERIGHTS )

I am connecting through an ADS data dictionary and the tables were added using the FoxPro (DBF/CDX) driver (not the Visual Foxpro driver.)

The indexes are created through ADS.

I have an index that puts empty dates first followed by descending dates then ascending IDs as:

 descend(If(empty(date),’99999999’,dtos(date))+id
Whenever I do a seek as either dbseek(descend(‘99999999’)) or dbseek(descend(dtos(dMyDate))) the seek goes to EOF or the proper record (date does exist) is not found properly.

I have the character set set to ANSI for both systems and the collation to Engl.(Amer) in both.

I've attached a sample program, table and other information in case anyone wants to take a look.

Hi Experts

Could you point what is preventing vfpcompression.fll to be used in a VFP9 project running under Windows10?

Accordingly to:


The same .fll perfectly runs under Windows 7

Any workaround?

Thanks in advance

Using ODBC I am trying to redirect a VFP app to new SQL 2016 database.  If I use Windows Authentication the app will run as desired.  If I use the preferred SQL Server Authentication the ODBC connection is made and tests successfully, but when trying to run the VFP app I'm continually getting SQL Server Login dialog box popup.  I have confirmed the SQL server is set to Mixed Authentication Mode.
