To Foxpro? I continue to use it every day, unlike you. You seem to
maintain this list just so you can shit all over Foxpro and Microsoft
just to promote your new toy.

"No good deed goes unpunished."
Mr Boatright
Yes, the MS bashing has annoyed me at times
Yes, there's been the odd, tongue in cheek Dabo reference.
If these people are guilty, they have just been completely exonerated
by your comment.
When you pronounce people guilty, be very careful you don't committ a
greater sin !!

I absolutely disagree. While he might promote Dabo, I certainly don't
think Ed shits on VFP. Nor did Ted (who doesn't use Fox anymore).
These guys have moved onto more modern softwares and are embracing
change. I absolutely love VFP, but I prefer MySQL for the backend...but
that doesn't mean I speak disparagingly about the Fox. My apps have
never (afaik) had corruption because I think I've coded them quite well;
however, the daytime app I work on (not mine, but a legacy app from LONG
ago that uses direct table edits via table buffering and NO views),
suffers from lots of memo file corruption. Why? I think the way Fox
accesses data across the LAN (needing a constant connection) and the
ways people did things way back when seem to cause some issues today.
Hence, that kind of legacy stuff gives the Fox a bad rap, which may be
construed as "shitting all over Foxpro" but I think it's just one of
those solutions that didn't account for the ways things change in
design, and hence, it's just not as good a "mousetrap" as today's
database backends can be. That's not a slam....it's just a (disputable)
fact, imo.

I completely agree with you. Would you please give us a list of
permitted threads? Please! I reeeeaaally need your guidance on my topics
of conversation with others. I'd really appreciate that whenever you
think I'm saying something that in your opinion shouldn't be said here
you tell me and forbid the topic, then we can ask Ed to erase any
reference to it. Just so you are happy and can sleep with a smile on
your lips.
Yours..... (in body and soul)

Wow! Unbelievable! I owe a lot of my success to Ed Leafe and ProFox.
I can't tell you how many times I had a sticky problem with Terminal
Services or FTP or something that you need to support a VFP application;
or wanted opinions from people that have a lot of experience.
What about all of the "I'm at a customer site and need some help fast..."
And what's wrong with mentioning Dabo? It's all of the talk about Linux
and Dabo and Python and PostGreSQL that has me moving in that direction
- while still maintaining VFP applications - and I appreciate all of the
help. It is some of the best you can find - and in one place.
And finally, I am self-employed and sit in an office by myself. The
people of ProFox are my co-workers and I learn an awful lot about
everything from them.
Thank you again, Ed!

I agree with this. I am definitely moving toward Python and PostgreSQL. =

This is the kind of nonsense that people are fed up with, and
destroying this wonderful tool (Profox)
Your statement has just placed all .Net developers in the garbage category.
For as long as you make this kind of arrogant contribution, I hope you
move to Python as soon as possible and get off this list.
