GriffMG That you haven't had any file corruption in 16 years is surprising and encouraging (maybe you can help me solve my file corruption problem). Can you tell my what server OS you are running, what about Oplocks settings on the server (and clients), and what are your settings regarding...

GriffMG, Thank you for your answer. You mentioned that you have two server. Does each server have the application and the data on the server, or do you have a situation where the application and the data are on two separate servers? i'm curious if you are transmitting data across the wire...

Nigel, Thank you for your answer. Do you have the 100 users on one server? Is it Server 2016, or 2019 or ? Any suggestions on sizing the VM re: CPU and RAM? I'll be using SSD drives. Does your application use VFP tables or does it have a SQL back-end? Mine has contained and free VFP tables...

I have a VFP application compiled to an EXE (it was compiled with VFP 8, but I plan on compiling it in VFP 9) that I would like to move to running on a new server we will be bringing in. I am using Server 2008 R2 now and running the application in a LAN configuration (not using RDS (AKA RDP))...

I found the problem. It's related to what the default printer is. This user was connecting to their work computer via GoToMyPC. GoToMyPC was setting the default printer to the "GoToMyPC" driver. I changed it to default to their HP printer and that solved the problem. Thanks for the...

You might want to check me on this; one of the advantages of RDP on a Windows server (now known as RDS - Remote Desktop Services) is that after the fist user logs on and opens the EXE file for a program, RDS caches that EXE so that subsequent users don't need as much RAM to run it. For example...

Hi everyone, When previewing a report created with a landscape paper size the right side of the report is being cutoff. The laptop is running Windows 10, resolution set at 1920 x 1080. The app is written in VFP 8. This report has been in place for 10 years and it's been fine on Windows 7...

Olaf, Thanks. Bill

Griff - thank you for the information on LeasingMode. That is extremely helpful. Olaf - the information you provided re: the registry entry, am I correct in understanding that it will solve the corruption problem regardless of what the Oplocks or SMB settings are? My client's environment is...

thread184-1792486 The thread I noted above has a reply from VFP superman Olaf where Olaf states that Oplocks cannot be disabled on Windows Server (newer versions) and that these registry settings are to be set on each client. I have a very busy application running on a Server 2008 R2 server...

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and advice. One of the main reasons for doing this is because the application runs on a LAN and Microsoft's server operating systems since 2008 and forward have made my life difficult with Oplocks and SMB2/3. I get random file corruption (usually header...

I lock down users by using Group Policy. You'll need to go through the various settings and remove various privileges. Create a Group Policy object and call it something like "Lockdown users". Set all the appropriate values to get as "locked-down" as you want and then assign that GPO to the...

Hi everyone, I have a application using VFP native tables. There are about 60 tables and some of the tables have hundreds of thousands and in some cases, millions, of records. I'm being asked by the client to quote them on moving to SQL backend. I use the late Drew Speedie's VMP framework if...

I use a program called Abri file repair. It can be used to fix SCX/SCT files. http://abri.tech/recover/recover.php Good luck, Bill

Thanks Olaf. Merry Christmas to you. Thank you for all of your help over the years. Bye, Bill Totten

I have a memo field that already contains data. I have a simple form that has a editbox controlsourced to a memo field. I want to add a line at the beginning to the existing data in the memo field and have the cursor (in the editbox) positioned at the end of that new line I added to the...

I ran the code from berezniker: * The code below seems to produce correct result but it hasn't been tested thoroughly. * Polynom = 0x8005 #DEFINE CRC16 0xA001 * Build CRC table DIMENSION laCrc[256] FOR i=0 TO 255 lnData = i lnCrc = 0 FOR j=0 TO 7 IF BITAND(BITXOR(lnData, lnCrc),1) >...

I do. I'm not sure what the data is to be. Here is what Rob posted: --------------- Directions from online ----------------------- Compute PlainText. a. PlainText is the 14 digit GTIN appended by the Lot Code and the Date (where present). b. Do not include the application identifier...

thread184-1767704 Robsuttonjr. Your last reply in the above mentioned thread was that you figured out how to do this in FoxPro. How to calculate the Voice Pick code. I have the exact same need and would like to know if you can post the VFP code on how you get (calculate) the Voice Pick Code...

I bought a new Win10 Lenovo laptop with the his-res display (2560 x 1440). I am using RDP to log onto remote servers for my clients. I connected an external 1600 x 12000 monitor and I can get the remote server Desktop to look normal, but when I Preview a report the bottom right corner of the...
