Re: Rick Spence's Clipper 5.2: Power Programmer's Guide

It is a 5 1/4" floppy disk ... finding a drive to read it would be a challenge.

I have the book and the disk ( envelope never opened ).

Re: new Class TDeepSeek in next FWH 24.12

Otto,

We remain calm because we use tools, and the stock market will not be of concern to us. The company can continue to function well even if investors are afraid they will not get their payouts. We care about the developers not the guys sitting on computers all day playing games with stocks.

Re: Using new Class TDeepSeek for documenting

Otto,

That is very nice ... but as far as I can see, 24.12 has not been released so I don't have access to that functionality.

When I do, HTML would be nice because it is easy to import into Help and Manual to make a true document.

Re: Using new Class TDeepSeek for documenting

I appreciate these posts. I am actually placing them in OneNote to create current documentation for FWH. As shared before, it is often very difficult to keep up with many of our classes because of the lack of documentation in a singular spot. Instead we have to search multiple locations, and even ...

Excel functions

I have had the ability to export data to Excel for awhile, but I sense there may be a better set of functions now to do this. I read a post from Mr. Rao saying there were new reading tools coming in the next release, but we haven't seen one now in 4 months. This indicated Excel would not be needed ...

Re: ADS licences directly from SAP?

Antonio:

When following your link, it shows 32 bit binaries for Borland and Mingw downloads

Is there a 64 bit version ?
Is it compatible with FWH 32 and 64 ?
Are there any examples of implementation in FWH programs ?

I use FWH ( current ), Harbour, and MSVC

Re: xHarbour to Harbour

I did that several years ago ( Antonio's suggestion ) when I started using Visual Studio to build my applications.

As I recall, I had very few issues, and everything was resolved within a day on my very extensive ( large ) application. I've had no problems since.

Re: PRINT class printer options

I would like to update my work on this, and the results.

First, consider this piece of code where I use PrnSel() to provide the option to PRINT, View, or Cancel ( a very familiar popup to all of us ), and under Print, there are two radio buttons which select either use the default printer, or ...

PRINT class printer options

Perhaps someone has had a similar need and found a solution. Let me explain.

My client's computer defaults to Printer A. However, he wants his invoices to go to Printer B with its special paper.

Using the PRINT class, we have 3 options. We can send output directly to the default ( printer A ...

Re: ADS licences directly from SAP?

You need to reach out to them directly to see exactly what is being offered.

The LAST version published was in 2015 - 9 years ago - pre Windows 10 and 11

All support was discontinued several years ago. No one even knew about the product at the company.

That price is for 1 user, 1 license based on ...

Re: AI in Software Development: What's Your Take?

Otto,

I think you summarized it well. AI can give you a possible structure / solution, but we will need to go through what we receive and be sure it all does precisely what we want.

I don't really use it, though I did ask some questions previously and the responses helped me think through what I ...

Re: cloud or not cloud

I've produced an application for small service businesses for the past 42 years. Though I am long past retirement age, I continue to update the application, and provide support, to a very loyal group of clients. For me, re-programming to the cloud was a task far beyond the time I wanted to spend ...

Re: ADS Question

The pricing on that website is extremely high, especially for a product that hasn't been updated in 9 years, and has no support. $311+ per user, and the normal configuration is at least a 5 user system.

If you look at the Terms and Conditions, it is all about a cloud based solution, which that is ...

Re: ADS Question

I'm not sure about your question because I believe you are using it for SQL.

I use Version 12 for both 32 bit and 64 bit applications. The drivers are different for each, and I'm using with .dbf files. I have absolutely no problems with it.

Of course my builds are with FWH, Harbour, MSVC, all the ...
