    Moving to wireless network

    Thanks Kevin, Number of users is from 1 to 3. The Trust Fund app is basically only used intermittently for a couple minutes every 15 minutes or so. Nothing heavy. Data size is relatively small. Server is just a Dell desktop but the business duty and pretty much the best they offered about a...

    Moving to wireless network

    Hi Kevin, As far as easy goes, that's not what I was thinking. I am pretty shell shocked. Q: Am I thinking right on this? I would add my Trust Fund App's databases (actually 2, one for tables and one for views), to my Cart App. project. In my Cart app, upon completion of a sale, I create my...

    Correction: Cart App is 2.6 app run thru converter.

    Moving to wireless network

    I have an app that is used to maintain account balances (much like your bank maintains it's cutomers balances). This app is VFP 7.0 using Visual FoxExpress framework. This is the Trust Fund App. I have an app used to conduct sales. It runs under VFP 7.0 but is a VFP 3 app that I merely ran thru...

    multiuser programming question

    Thanks Dave, I am starting to get it. Basically anything that needs current data as part of the transaction being processed, and if that needed data could be changed by a different user or process (timer etc.) I must get the latest data FIRST. Of course that makes logical sense. I just needed...

    multiuser programming question

    Hi Dave, Thanks for the input. Would this be a true statement: For resolving the issue I defined, I need a business rule. The rule I am obviously missing is: Anytime a transaction occurs (that is tracked to a shift), a refreshing of the shift identifier, must occur prior to performing the...

    Truncated data! Importing text file delimited by commas with Wizard.

    I am unfamiliar with the wizard but can tell you that when using a view, the same truncation occurs. Let's say you are pulling the data from a field, employee_name and the first employee is named Jack whereas 2nd employee is named Jackson, the "son" would be truncated. Now this only occurs when...

    multiuser programming question

    Big Picture question: All transactions are tracked to a shift identifier. App has a Close Shift function. User on workstation 1 closes the shift. User on workstation 2 has a form up that shows the current shift PRIOR to workstation 1 closing the shift. Unless workstation 2 refreshes the...

    FTP vs. COPY

    WGCS, Thanks! I believe I understand everything you are telling me. I have conceptually performed many of the same tasks in prior projects, only not with such a wonderful "pipe mechanism". I believe the connecting each time answers my need for multiple clients on same PC. That makes sense...

    FTP vs. COPY

    Normally that would be an easy question to answer. Not this time. The app that would be running the server class is VFP 7.0 using Visual FoxExpress(VFE) framework. It has the usual foxpro style menu and most of the forms are run from the View... menu. I suspect I will be adding a timer object...

    FTP vs. COPY

    That's all great! It really sounds like a nice solution for what I need. One more question: Can I run this where the forms are invisible? I guess I am assuming the client and server classes can be started, then my program just USES them for the communication i.e. I "tell" the client to send a...

    FTP vs. COPY

    Dave, I have it running. That's neat but I am unsure exactly how I would use it. It appears thet the actual data that is moved back and forth must be stored internally, i.e. some sort of temporary table somewhere? Is this like COM object that I would have each app sending data to? Sorry for...

    Many fields per table- field limitations

    Kevi, If it were me, and I do not know if this is an option, I would consider breaking "like" data to separate forms, just for easier maintenance by the users. 900 fields to maintain on a single form just sounds totally overwhelming. As far as combining the data into a memo field then...

    FTP vs. COPY

    Dave, I downloaded but when I run it wants an IP address. My network experience is limited. I know what an IP address is but I am developing on a standalone PC. Yes, I wll be developing on a network but for today that is not an option. WGCS, I have heard of SOAP, etc but that is all. What is...

    FTP vs. COPY

    I have 2 VFP apps. One is a mobile POS system. The other is basically a bank. Currently at start of day, bank downloads ALL balances to floppy which is imported by each mobile POS app. Sales are made on mobile POS app. At end of day, each POS unit exports to a floppy, it's sales data. Bank app...

    Need help with complex SQL statement

    Thanks Craig, You gave me hope. I have almost got it after a few hours of working at it. There is more to it because users are able to discontinue a product at the master level or at the facility level and some more issues such as the whole idea of the facility level is to override the master...

    Need help with complex SQL statement

    I have an app that maintains multiple inventories (perhaps better to call it multiple product listings). I have multiple facilities. Each facility has it's own set of products that are sold. I have created a Products table with it's own maintanance capabilities ("Product Master Maintenance")...

    need help with seek on a cursor

    Thanks, I was really unsure if SEEK worked on a cursor as the VFP help somewhat says it does not. Just by telling me that I may be doing the seek incorrectly told me that you guys knew it IS possible to SEEK on a cursor. Anyway, you were also correct on what I was doing wrong. I trimmed the...

    need help with seek on a cursor

    I have a cursor that I have created and added a bunch of records to (lcincoming). After adding the data to the cursor I do the following: SELECT lcincoming INDEX ON cbinum TAG cbinum SET ORDER TO tag cbinum Then I attempt a seek on the cursor: SELECT lcincoming SET ORDER TO tag cbinum...
