I’m glad to report that I think we have a solution (and a surprisingly simple one at that) to our FoxTabs crash issue. Tracy P put us on a good path and we have been testing successfully so far.You can follow the forum thread here if you are interested. If all stays good we will be putting out a new release of FoxTabs within a week. Thanks to everyone who sent us...
Scott Scovell and I have been toying with the idea of hosting some Skypecasts on Visual FoxPro.If you aren’t familiar with the concept you can check it out here (not sure why it is a https link btw). The aim would be to have a few people (say 10-15) join the discussion, which we record and then make available to anyone interested (probably hosted on our OzFoxRocks site)...
Scott and I are back on the FoxTabs case (after a couple of months distracted by other things – news on that in a few weeks). We are keen to resolve the big show stopper, which is it will crash if there are compile errors in prg, forms or class code. To replicate this, all you need to do is run up FoxTabs, open a prg and type some dodgy code. Try to run the prg and whammo you...
Just happened upon Juan’s blog here: checked and it is on UT, but not on FoxWiki yet. Juan, make sure you add yourself here:;
Perhaps you can help… my wife Michele is doing research into happiness as part of her Psychology Honours Thesis.Part of this is an online survey which asks about 150 multiple choice questions. It takes approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. It is completely anonymous. If you are able to take part in the survey that would be a great help to her. It is fine for people living in...
A great show from Andrew MacNeill with an interview of Rod Miller from dbi-Tech. There are a couple of points that grabbed my attention: 1. dbi-Tech are not after a quick bit of marketing, and Rod is no dummy. He is obviously a considered businessman, so a decision to embrace the VFP community (or to continue to) is not to be dismissed as some off-hand thing – they have...
Another informative day at CodeCampOz. The day kicked off with a chat from Paul Glavich about Atlas and some general discussion of Ajax functionality. This was an excellent introduction for me about the details under the covers (my understanding of Atlas had been sketchy at best up until then). Paul is an extremely likeable speaker and yes, I will be buying 3 or 4 copies of your book...

A very rewarding day at CodeCampOz today.Castro, Eka, Rahul, Scott and I are all here in Wagga getting our fill of WinFS, Windows Workflow Foundation, Windows Presentation Framework, LINQ, SharePoint v3, .Net and more.Greg Low and Mitch Denny have done extremely well yet again. The venue is ideal, the sessions are nicely organised, the speakers are good, the pizza for lunch was hot, and the...
Christ Sainty blasts onto the blogosphere with some impressive posts: works at Quids, the company who developed the web site and back end systems powering Harris Technology (Australia’s biggest consumer IT site). All written in FoxPro ofcourse.That’s right, Australia’s biggest online IT consumer webstore is all running on FoxPro.
