It occurs to me that I’ve neglected to blog about the fact that I’m speaking at Southwest Fox 2011. For those unfamiliar, Southwest Fox is the premiere Visual FoxPro Developer’s Conference.

This one gets me every time, so I’m going to write it up in hopes that next time I search for it, I’ll find my own solution. Situation: You’ve created a datasource in your .Net app, and want to use it on your report (RDLC). You create the report, point to the new Dataset, drop […]
VFP apps on Android and iPhone?
Posted by Eric in C#, Database, FoxPro, Hardware, Web on 14. Apr, 2011 | 18 Comments
A few times lately I’ve been asked if we could have an Android or iPhone version of our custom Visual FoxPro application.

VFPXTab is not multi-user friendly
Posted by Eric in FoxPro on 29. Sep, 2010 | 0 Comments
If you use VFPXTab to calculate cross-tabs in VFP, you have to modify it to make it work properly in a multi-user environment. We have a client with West-Wind Web Connection on their server, and one of their dashboard widgets used a cross-tab of some data. Periodically an error would get automatically emailed to us […]
