Hi Guys,

Here's a beginner style question. I have never done anything in Databases nor have I worked on GUIs. We are running FoxPro 2.6 for Payroll since the boonies and want to convert to Access with a GUI .. Eventually we will get an ERP

I know how to convert dbf files to access, that is not the issue. The problem is, I do not know the process of how to start building the GUI. User accounts, Data, Printing, employee info, we have a lot of databases. I know it will be a timely process .. any ideas where I can start?

Would love some help here.. if you guys know any company that does this conversion and building of GUI in access, let me know as well.

Thanks

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 …

Hi Experts,

Need a help to edit .dbf file or say create .dbf file, i have Excel 2016 but i can't find any option to save file as .dbf format. actully i have one .dbf file and opened in excel change whole data and try to save but excel error...... it missing some data while open again. is there any way out to open .dbf file and edit data and save as .dbf file ?  or is there any way if i create one .csv file and convert to .dbf file.?

Thanks

We are looking at the future of a VFP9 ERP app. In testing one path, a C++ programmer is finding it more of a challenge than he expected to convert the database to SQL Server 2014. So far there seems to be no way around retyping all the field names after exporting. I know nothing about SQL Server--but figure I'd better start to learn! Is this the case? No straighforward migration of a VFP9 database to SQL Server 2014? (No fancy triggers or rules)

In VB.net it appears it rounds my number when I don't want it to...
Example:

Amount = $110.00
Percent = 0.1791

In FoxPro when you multiply Amount * Percent you get = 19.695543
In VB.net when you multiply Amount * Percent you get = 19.701

I want the same result as I get in FoxPro...how can I get the decimal places out farther in VB.net.

Thanks,
Mark

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

set printer on

odoc.printout()

Is there any option in foxpro to set destination folder programatically?

 in my system I have adobe pdf and pdf995.

Thanks in Advance

I had to reinstall Windows 7 and Access 2013 and now I cant find my ODBC drivers to Link with Foxpro from Access?

Examples

I have a number of old word documents that I need to migrate to pdf but first I need to save them as DOCX but I want to save them without the Encryption password (which I have).

Anybody know how to do this?
