in our application's error log the error message "beyond string" is shown. The error happened during a reindexing process. However, I could not reproduce the error, neither by re-reindexing the table nor by playing around with the substr() function (this is the function which causes...

It's not a pure 24x7 system, so the restart option is a valid one, and we'll probably go that way. As you said, restarting a windows system from time to time is not a bad thing. We're also looking to use VFP for the long running parts of the application (the time is updated properly in VFP)...

tilltek - you might be right, though; I ran four different tests, and could reproduce the behavour you describe in one case. It seems to a VDM related issue (I'm a novice to this, just found an article in the knowledge db: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q120944)...

tilltek - I could NOT reproduce the behaviour you describe, neither in FoxPro DOS 2.6 nor FoxPro Windows 2.6. Are you using different versions of Fox ?

Hi, I am looking for a solution how to synchronize date & time between foxpro applications on different computers which might be running for a certain period (e.g. 1 week) without restarting. The windows command "net time&quot...

Hi all, thanks a lot for your input. I'm out for the weekend now, so I might not be able to answer any posts until monday. Live long and prosper Fili

Thanks. there is no Antivirus software running on the PCs. So far we have tried the following without success: - changed the video driver to standard vga (640x480) - updated windows 2000 with latest service pack - recreated forsuer.dbf - set up temp directories - played around with MEMLIMIT and...

another note: The same app runs fast on some Windows 2000 machines, but slow on others (different installations/customers, but same app).

Hi guys, thanks for your responses >Since the last time FPW was updated was before Win9x, Win200 or XP were even being developed, why would you think these OSs would be optimal for running it? Have you considered upgrading to VFP - one version or another has been around now for 7+ years now...

Hi all, a foxpro 2.6 (windows) application which is fast on Windows 9x and Windows NT machines is much slower on Windows XP/2000 boxes, even if those computers are better in terms of memory and CPU. It does not make a difference whether the application is started from the local hard drive or...

I do ;-). But one should be aware of this stuff. C# is probably more flexible than java, but when it comes to portability, one must be very careful in C#. In the end it all boils down to building own abstraction layers for os/db/whatever/.net dependant calls which can be replaced by other...

there can be cases where odbc is necessary, e.g. if there is only an ODBC driver for a database. when building cross-platform dbs one should not be forced to use a certain driver implementation. also there is some SQL*Server specific stuff in C#, which I think is unecessary. ok, it might be...

Hi all, I am playing around with database access from C#. I got some working code for connecting to oracle (complete snippets included below) using two different strategies: - ODBC access via OdbcConnection - OLE access via OleDbConnection The problem I am facing is that I do have to write...

Hi all, I'm trying to understand how record locking works internally in FoxPro. My guesses: - It must be implemented serer-side to allow multiple clients. - It cannot be implemented on file level, because file operations are not exclusive (one would have to open a file exclusively to set a...

Hi all, does BEGIN..END TRANSACTION have any impact when an ODBC data source is used ? Or is this completely separate from the ODBC commit/rollback functions ? Thanks

Ian, thanks for the response. I also thought of using tables (that will definitely work), but I was hoping for a more standard-like way in VFP. Probably I can could an ActiveX Control wrapping the VB calls to a Ressource File !? I also found a tool called "INTL Toolkit&quot...

Hi everyone, I'm working on internatlization of a VFP program, so I'm wondering if VFP does support Resource Files like VB / VC++. Another problem that blows my mind is how to do this in an efficient way in Forms. Thanks Holger

thanks, I'll try it.

Hi all, is it possible to use an activeX control within flash, e.g. display a calendar ? Thanks

I was not thinking about J++. I would say either use 100% pure java or C#. Let's see what C# will bring.
