Hi ! I have an unique situation. An SCO Unixware 7.1.3 with Samba 2.2.7a (yes, i know; it sucks !) On the machine, is running MS Foxpro 2.6 for UNIX (it's running pretty well for several years) but due to new demands (like Crystal Reports, Visual view; etc) the directories with DBF files were shared using Samba. At the beginning, when everything was only about reading, there were no

Will need to move to Windows 10 in a year so doing some testing. Everything works on one machine with 10 while on another it will not call the main.prg file on the Samba server. Trying to figure out if it is VFP9 issue or a quirk with Samba.

G'day I am trying to install Visual FoxPro 9 with wine. I have been following the instructions from "http://www.paulmcnett.com/vfp/wine/". I have had to slightly modify the paths used for the symlinks because the format of version 9 appears to differ from that of version 8. Or it's because they didn't lend me the original disks. Basically an extra directory level called

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has gotten Visual FoxPro apps working? Here's where I am. Under both fake_windows, and the 'real windows' installations, Foxpro apps seem to not release the mouse click when an MDI window is selected, or the scrollbars are used. In a print-preview, this appears to be a lockup (really, it's in 'select mode', for highlighting text). What

Is Samba (1.19) incompatible with FoxPro? We have tried to network a database package (FoxPro is the underlying DBMS) by putting it in a Samba share. The database starts up and you can browse the tables, but it looks as though FoxPro's record locking system causes the entire share to be locked, so that further access to the shared drive (both in FoxPro and in the Windows98 Explorer) is

Hi, First of all, apologies if I'm not posting this in the correct place. I'm successfully running Microsoft Visual Foxpro 7 under Wine, however I needed to use the native versions of shlwapi and oleaut32. There is a major problem still, however, and that is that foxpro will freeze as soon as I use the mouse to click in certain controls (the command window, a textbox, an edit box,

I am accessing Visual Foxpro and main.prg inside a shortcut by first calling the VFP9 and then the mapping of the file server with the directories to the program.... "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9\vfp9.exe" F:\??_???\progs\main.prg. Would max protocol = SMB2 be the correct format? Thanks for the thoughts. Tom Gaiseric Vandal [
