Believe me when I say. Physical access = Root access. I saw many PCs that were locked down being opened like a book by some skilled people. - Remove Boot password ( reset the bios , several work arounds ) - Boot of a USB with windows / PC unlocker etc etc - Create local admin user - All your...

Computer management is an easy way to do it. If you really want to see that physical access equals root access they can sniff the ethernet :D then you are screwed. SMB is clear as day. or even an IP scan can still get you the name of the remote server. Hell even in my network places ( if...

YEs but since you need windows to access the shared path directly to make it avalabel to your aplication means the local user uses the creeds you have in your app to connect to said share. So if he can find out from computer management the open files he will be able to browse to said file...

Since the software is an a remote share. By definition the files including prg and dbfs are visible to the user. Either if the whole directory is mapped as a shared drive Or the shortcut on the users desktop is pointing to the shared path that is not visible to the user as easy. Its still...

Someone is maliciously deleting them. Check your logs. OR The program has some subroutine that deletes / replaces said file and it errors out half way after deleting and before creating it again.

are you sure vfp 6.0 can do directly api calls ? as far as i know in vfp9.0 and higher with some modes / external dll calls was possible. do you have some vfp 6.0 native examples ? and Native is the key point here.

Imagine . I have some things I want to do. Having Foxpro to speak to a webserver make requests etc etc. I can't do that directly through Foxpro. So I bridge the gap by. the following : 1.passing the parameters from FOXPRO to a TEXT file. 2. Made a Pre-compiled exe file of a python...

Dear All , This will sound silly and stupid , but it's worth the shot. At the moment when I want to interface with a python project I have to generate a text file with all the details / parameters(generating it via foxpro before hand ) I have to pass to it then run the python script that is...

Hello , Yes you can, you need a seral output from your controller and a procedure on Foxpro to get the Raw data from the micro and well process them. https://www.tek-tips.com/threads/need-to-receive-data-from-serial-port.190208/ Here is a start

Well yes that was determined already. (by me :D) Nevertheless Mr. Olaf already shed light on my issue :D https://microsoft.public.fox.programmer.exchange.narkive.com/NyGUbgox/how-to-get-current-domain-user with the following single line :D "GETENV("COMPUTERNAME")" and you have ONLY the...

Dear All , is being a while , nice makeover but I prefer the old-fashioned style better , Nevertheless. As I understand the command GETWORDCOUNT() is only available on VFP 9.0 and not in VFP 6.0 Is there an easy way to replicate somehow easily what this command does in VFP 6.0 ? What I...

Dear Mr.Chris At the moment I am changing the printer from default to the Text only generic printer driver so that I can push the ZPL code directly to the printer to avoid having to deal with math creating QR codes but my printer can do that out of the box. Thank everyone for all the ideas...

Dear Mike , Thank you for your input. In my case the console is the program form. My guy is "drawing" on the display :D old School Fox Pro stuff. Thanks The Radiologist

A quite bad workaround ( I would like to avoid it at all costs ) SET CONSOLE OFF TYPE 'some file' TO PRINTER SET CONSOLE ON If you have a more elegant solution let me know.

Okay , so I want to send RAW data to a printer. How can I do that with out TYPE ? Thanks The Radiologist
