Because I have to occasional support a VFP 6.0 SP5 app, I thought I'd try installing this on my new Vista machine at home. While the VFP 6.0 install went fine, the SP5 update fails because it requires MDAC 2.5 (or higher). While I get no error on the install of 2.5 MDAC (or 2.6), apparently what...

The subject says it all! Rick

We just had a new client install one of our applications on a terminal server - something we never tested - and it almost all works. It normally uses the MAC address to identify the unique station to setup the basic hardware configuration parameters - those separate from the user information...

I suggested they include Tek-Tips in the FoxPro Community list and they agreed - and it only took 9 days. (Who say MS is always slow!) MSDN - Related Communities for Visual FoxPro - http://msdn.microsoft.com/community/vfoxpro.asp Rick

Because there are a few of us that hang out on Tek-Tips, I thought you might be interested in this message posted this afternoon by Ken Levy: As of today (October 1, 2003), there is an updated list of Microsoft MVPs (Most Valued Professionals). Below is the new list of MVPs, and I listed the...

As promised I've added a new FAQ and updated an old one. Because we sometimes need to time sync a workstation to a non-MS server, this method uses a non-API way to get the server's time. Alternate Method to Set local Time from Server faq184-3536 To be able to supply more and better infomation...

A news story on VFP 8.0 has been released on ADTMag.com (Application Developer Trends), based on their request for an interview after seeing the Microsoft PressPass story on VFP 8.0 at http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2003/apr03/04-21foxpro.asp. Visual FoxPro 8.0: The venerable...

OK, here is both a simple and difficult question. For someone who has been asked to begin maintaining a fully developed DirectX (7.0 right now) C++ application, where do I start? (It appears to be mostly 2D graphics, animation and some sound.) Is anyone aware of any good Training available...

Anyone know of a routine that can give the equivalent of SET(&quot;PRINTER&quot;, 3) in VFP 5.0? I've got to retrofit some working 6.0 / 7.0 code back into a 5.0 application. <s> Rick

I've been unable to find any way to reliably get the current Adapter address. While under NT I find it appears in the registry (although it's not straight forward), the technique doesn't work under Win 95/98. e.g. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\N1001\Parameters]...
