    SET('DEFAULT') Not returning drive and path for default directory

    For what it's worth, in 2.6 SET('DEFAULT') returns the drive letter only. From the help: DEFAULT SET("DEFAULT") returns the default drive. The default directory is returned by SYS(2003).

    keeping fpw2.6 alive and well

    As far as I know FoxPro 2.6 will only work on a 32bit version of Windows. I now use FoxPro 2.6 on 64bit Windows 10 using vDos, which works very well. John

    VFP 9 Runtime Engine for compiled FPW 2.6 code

    Another possibility is to run the FPW windows app in an emulator. I have had very good success with vDos (vdos.info) running an app written in FoxPro 2.6 on a couple of 64bit Windows 7 machines. vDos is fine for normal use but it's too slow for some administrative tasks, such as re-indexing...

    VFP 9 Runtime Engine for compiled FPW 2.6 code

    I tested this some time ago so I may not have all the details correct... 1) You should use SET CPDIALOG OFF or VFP will add code page information to the tables. If that happens you can't open the tables is FPDOS. Not sure about FPW. 2) If VFP finds screen tables (SCT and SCX files) it will try...

    Migrating from FoxPro 2.6

    I agree with jnoblin, vDos is an excellent program. It's a DOS emulator, so it's slower than NTVDM, but this is not noticeable in normal use (taking phone orders, invoicing orders, etc.). I would suggest keeping a 32 bit machine available for re-indexing files, very large reports, and other...

    Foxpro 2.6 for DOS-Tips for smooth Windows XP Mode?

    I have had trouble with FoxPro and muti core processors - every once in while the app would become non-responsive. The solution is to force NTVDM to use only one core, which is easiest done using psexec ( https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx ) to start your program...

    Foxpro 2.6 for DOS-Tips for smooth Windows XP Mode?

    SBTBILL - Have you tried vDos? It's certainly worth trying before re-writing the program. DSummZZZ - I'm sure you understood, but to clarify for others vDos is based on DOSBox, but very different. The most important difference is that DOSBox has no file locking, vDos does. vDos is safe for a...

    Foxpro 2.6 for DOS-Tips for smooth Windows XP Mode?

    Have you considered a DOS emulator rather than a Virtual machine? I have had very good results running a multi user FoxPro 2.6 application on 64 bit machines using vDos http://sourceforge.net/projects/vdos/. vDos is not as fast as NTVDM, but fine for normal use. I only notice the speed...

    Email within FPD 2.6

    I use blat ( http://www.blat.net/ ). To avoid the memory error run blat with a vbs script rather than a batch file. Regards, John

    Join domain - keep user's profile/settings

    Yes indeed you do need change the permissions, that's why the article at http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/samba@lists.samba.org/2866267.html gives explicit instructions for doing so.

    Join domain - keep user's profile/settings

    It's quite simple to migrate the profile, see http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/samba@lists.samba.org/2866267.html for instructions. I have done this on about 12 machines and it works very well. One thing the article didn't mention; in one case I had to do the migration in safe mode because...

    Stoopid Gold Bar message

    I found that MOM worked ( I used '<!-- saved from url=(0014)about:internet -->' ), but ONLY if it's in the HTML, and on a line by itself. Being on a separate line sounds absurd, but I tested it several times and it only worked when on its own line.

    Indigo Perl:hep with Apache web server

    I don't know about the php, my IndigoPerl has no problem with php. Perl scripts (at least on my machine) require either changing the shebang line to the perl path on your machine, or adding this to your config file ScriptInterpreterSource Registry and adding this key to your registry...

    AVG Good for Networks?

    I have been using the commercial(paid)version on 14 computers for about a year and have been very pleased. I have had no problems with updates, either automated or manual, and it seems to be much less load on the machines than Norton was. John
