Is there a way to make a VFP application executable that runs fine in Windows 7 with Visual Studio 6 installed to work in Windows 10? Windows 10 does not allow to install VS 6. Windows 7 complained somewhat during the VS 6 installation, but still installed it, and the VFP executable runs fine.

Thank you.

Hello Experts!

So I'm working on converting some programs over from Inserting data into FoxPro to now inserting that same data into MS Access 2013...because lets face it FoxPro is gone.

Now comes my issue, in FoxPro I had a field set to character length of 4...in MS Access same field text set to length of 4.
However there are times I get data in the file that is longer than 4 and when importing that data into FoxPro it would just truncate the data from say 6 to 4 and insert it...however in MS Access it doesn't strip it from 6 to 4 it throws an error.

"The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add."

Is there a way to set MS Access (property of some kind) that will just truncate (ignore the length) the data if it is longer than 4?
Or do I need to change my program to pull all fields from left to right and truncate all the fields in my program?

Thanks,
Mark

i have  two  file having  same filed for  diff rant year  and  required  diff of filed no 6 to 17 on 3rd dbf

I've got a third-party conversion utility that I want to incorporate into my Visual FoxPro code (version 9.0 SP2).

Two of the parameters that I need to pass to this are non-standard types, which, in the Visual Basic example that comes with the documentation, have been declared as such, with the command


How do I set this up in VFP?

In VFP6 report I want to make same printer margins  to all printer drivers like Microsoft word & excel does.

I suspect the answer to this question is "Windows 10 update" like so many others I've had to deal with.

I'll describe how the problem manifests. What I'm after is a way of zeroing in on the culprit.

Took me several days to realise I had the problem. I had wrongly assumed that I was requiring VFP to perform a more arduous task than I'd anticipated.  It almost doesn't matter what the task was but I'll describe it anyway.

I was running a report involving 32k records but requiring a summed calculation based on a quantity held in the current table and a cost held in a related table.  The kind of thing we've all done a zillion times.

Some of mine can take a few minutes to run, especially if they're sucking out 2 years worth of data and performing a detailed year on year comparison, so I wasn't too perturbed when this particular report was taking longer than I expected.

But then it got ridiculous. Last night I had to leave it running while it churned through just 32k records (and only 8k in the related table) and check in from home to find it had finished about 20 minutes after I'd left. WTF?

So today I've been troubleshooting. Frequent culprit has been Zonealarm. If you don't specify certain programs as being safe, it performs a paranoid check every time you run them. But the program had been correctly tagged. Didn't fully trust that, so I uninstalled zone alarm. Rinse and repeat. Problem behaviour still there.  I should specify that it's actually Zone Alarm …

Hello Experts some antivirus and other applications report our app as unsafe or propose delete...
what is the procedure to register it properly so no other software will see it as a threat?
We use visual studio (basic and c#) but we also still have some legacy visual fox pro apps working just fine.

I have found a strange performance issue with xBase++.
Essentially, client performance is very good until database files in the same database are opened locally on the server (see graph.)
Details are below.
Thanks,
Tim

Test Setup
----------------
•      Three client platforms and two server platforms, all under controlled conditions.
•      Clients: Win7 10/100, Win7 gb, Win Server 2008 R2 via XenApp
•      Servers: Win Server 2012 R2, Win Server 2008 R2 (VMware virtual machine)
•      xBase++: 2.00.785
•      Dbe: FOXCDX (see dbesys.prg example)
•      Client test function: representative function that creates a DBF/CDX file on the client C: drive from data assembled from multiple open data files residing on the server.

Test Procedure
----------------------
1.      Reboot the server
2.      On a client map a drive to the server database share
3.      Run the app from the client c: drive, starting it in the mapped server folder – performance is good for multiple simultaneous clients
4.      Run an app locally on the server and open files in the same database folder as the client
5.      As the number of files opened locally on the server increases the client performance degrades significantly for all clients, even new instances on different machines (see graph)
6.      Close the locally opened files on the server
7.      Client performance remains degraded

Notes
---------
•      The performance is poor for all subsequent clients once a database folder has files opened locally on the server
•      The performance …

I am trying to automate printing in foxpro.My requirement is When I clicked on print button It should start printing without asking for the destination folder dialogue box. printing is working fine..But it always asks for destination folder dialogue box

i tried with set printer to funtion..But it is for pointing the .exe file of the default printer
