    Safe limit size for EXE file in FVP9

    In that case you have nothing to worry about. You are definitely on the safe side with your 820 KB. Regards, Gerrit

    OCR with visual foxpro

    I have used EZTWAIN too, but with TESSERACT, Ghostscript and ImageMagick (all free to use except EZTWAIN) to do graphic format conversion for best OCR results (convert to TIFF). EZTWAIN has been taken over years ago, but you will find it with Google. Another option is to use GPT-4O and use AI...

    Safe limit size for EXE file in FVP9

    What is it? KB, MB or GB. This makes quite a difference… Our .exe’s are usally between 4 and 14 GB. Our installer (with 3rd party components and add-ons) is more than 500MB. Regards, Gerrit

    Safe limit size for EXE file in FVP9

    Most of our EXE’s are 8 to 14 MB, no issues whatsoever and still very very fast. Regards, Gerrit

    Strangest error

    Perhaps one of the fields has an invalid content or is empty when it shouldn’t be. Check if the BOOM is with the same record in every run and (if yes) then check the record’s content. Regards, Gerrit

    Strangest error

    If this happens on a “real” server, check the event logs. Check antivirus. Check the flename you create. Check in config the status of all installed programs; what changed on the 17th? Regards, Gerrit

    The new look....

    Interesting options at the bottom of the page: https://www.tek-tips.com/misc/style']Style chooser[/URL] Change width The Nova style is a bit more compact, but still I don't like it. The width option is OK to use all of your screen. At least they gave us something to choose. Regards, Gerrit

    The new look....

    Every post gets a mimimum height, resulting with pages with lot’s of empty space. Regards, Gerrit

    Offering the user the option of database browsing

    If a user is ever allowed to browse / change, make sure the customer has formally agreed to use this function. And check again they’re making proper daily external backups! Regards, Gerrit

    Site Migration Problems, anyone?

    Yep, I couldn't log in. With help from tek-tips I'm back. I'm not sure I like the new layout, it's quite a difference and I was used to the old style. Regards, Gerrit

    Use GPT-4 for translating text

    Hi Kristy, Yes, it’s intriguing! I have added this to our business software suite and users can now choose between Desktop OCR (using Tesseract) and AI OCR with Gpt4-o. I can confirm it’s working, but of course our Desktop OCR is working too. It’s sometimes hard to notice the difference...

    Problem with SET DEFAULT TO

    Hi Gendev, I was wondering about the length of the entire copy command, not just the filename. Regards Gerrit

    Problem with SET DEFAULT TO

    Another wild guess, What is the exact length of you COPY command? Regards, Gerrit

    Use GPT-4 for translating text

    Hi Chris, Yes, I saw that too. On the other hand, we’re automating translation. So if there is an error in the original posting I accept an error when translating. Perhaps I cannot read the original file, so I couldn’t correct the initial error anyway. I prefer to try to automate the...
