Hi

I am running most of my applications on TS and have not seen the error you mentioned. In fact I am not sure I know what this error is about. Can you explain it in more detail?

Thanks,
Simon

>I am not a contractor, nor do I do work on other apps and yes FPW was an abomination. I started building my (large) accounting and job costing program 17 years ago because anything else was junk in my opinion. Now I have a robust Vfp8 application which my clients love me for and pay me a nice monthly fee. Everything was rosy until one of my clients ran it on Terminal Services. Lost that client because of the dreaded 'Error can't find file' error which it appears is a TS bug when running VFP (all versions). Now another large client is running TS and my data integrity has become a worry. After many years of a robust APP I am now losing confidence. While the Fox community pooh poohed the TS bug, non Fox people were telling my clients that VFP and TS is not a good partnership. I am starting to agree.
>First thing I will have to do is rewrite my 17 years of work. Yes I have heard about the .NET Vfp compilier, but I am going to have to re-write the whole thing in order to make it work on SQL Server or similar anyhow so my current thinking is might as well bite the bullet and learn something more modern. Because a program such as mine together with it's client base and regular income is a saleable commodity when I become too old and doddery to cope anymore (closer than I dare admit) I am informed on extremely good authority that the thing must be written in current month flavour to attract a buyer. VFP is definately not on the current flavour variety menu right now.
>So in the end; hate Microsoft all you like, I have listened to the 'MS demise is just around the corner' for years now, but like the end of the world it never comes. Some of my friends have gone to what I think of as spongy alternatives like Delphi etc, but they are a bit off beat in my opinion. My current thinking is to stick stubbornly with VFP is like driving my car into a gradually worsening bog.
>BTW My first large statement print took 8 hours using SQL syntax, a friend showed me how to use SEEK and SCAN REST WHILE, the print run dropped to 10 minutes. Bet you can't do that in SQL Server!
>I guess I am answering my own question, but one does appreciate the opinions of others and I try to take it all into account.
