At my my age i find the best way is to write all your passwords on sticky notes and put them on a cork board next to the computer, that way there's nothing to forget ! :) Joking Obvs Colin

I too like the look, BUT it's not as easy to use !! :-(

Mike, Thanks... Love your website and collection of articles - I often take a look if I need a brain break from being productive ! ! All the commercial packages that I am aware off, encrypt and compress the data and perform their searches on that, and so get around data size limits, that is...

Hi again The company i work for has commercial applications for address management. (Simply Postcode) for which we get a great set of tools, and an API / web service that I can use with VFP or C # depending on what section of the business needs I'm trying to cater for. and most importantly -...

Gary et al Please do note that the PAF ( Postcode Address File ) which you are working with, is the property of the Royal Mail here in the UK, and requires a licence to have a copy and to work with it ! Generally, one purchases a commercial package that would have such licensing by the authors...

Hi ya all ! ! After a bit of a teaching / learning session in the office yesterday, Doug's project manager came up for discussion, Does anyone know where where I can obtain a copy please ? We understand that that enables VFP to link into Azure Devops - Comments or discussion on that subject...

I myself have done a few vfp -> c# conversions and at the same time upscaling the database to SQL-Server or MySql I must say I agree with mike Lewis, steer clear of so called automatic tools - you will end up rewriting the output from that ! and yes doing it manually you will have the...

Hay, I never said it would be easy ! ! I was partly reminiscing, and partly looking for other suggestions as to how to approach , thanks for the replies, really rather just backs up my original post, code references, and gofish - if I get some time I will take a look at the documenting wizard.

Hi All Back in the day, many moons ago, I first started with MfoxPlus ! - yes before Foxpro - all under DOS too I recall there was a free utility that came with The Fox - if I recall correctly it was called FoxDoc This was a wonderful little application, you gave it the name of your "main"...

Mike I knew that.. Honest , but suffered the loss of half my brain !

i require an easy way to pop up a "messagebox like" form to tell user to "wait" whilst some long query is ongoing, and then i will like to clear that when the query is done Colin

Hi all is there a way to determine if the value of a variable or form field has changed the reason i ask is because at some point in my code t is being changed. but i know not where or when i can get at the values at the start of a process and can see that by the end they have changed short...

Sorry i havent responded before, but was not at work. back this morning so i am going to look into your binding solution As said initially the recordsource is refreshed at times, and when i tried my original bindevents, it was done after every r3eset of the grid.recordsource so my...

Chris, yes i did some performance teting and changed it to exactly that !

Chris, Thans very much for your swift response. I tried setting the bind events on Interactivechange, but that unfortunatly did not work either I also then tried your GETNEXTMODIFIED(0,"alias") ( changing alias to my cursor name of CurReturns - also did not have any effect But it did point me...
