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: 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 ...

Re: RDS (Remote Desktop) and FW programming

I use Remote Desktop every day, and have for many years, but not to run a "multi-user" application.

I have a very inexpensive mini-computer ( 6" x 6" ) running a Celeron Processor and Windows 11 Pro. That acts as a data server, and I have Advantage Database Server installed on it so the speed is ...

Re: Preview of the invoice in advance

Otto,

My systems are all based on the client's location. One computer in a local network stores the data files. It can be both a server for other workstations, and a workstation for one of the users.

My clients can use an SMS service to send their texts. We integrated to Twillio because it costs ...

Re: Preview of the invoice in advance

My clients all use locally based networks and the server is "in house". It's incredibly secure.

They also have had the ability to do what you describe for the past couple of years.

My program creates a PDF of the Preview created within the program ( using standard FWH functions ). This can be ...

Re: Extending SetScope()

Thank you.

I decided to use 2(a) because having them in partnumber order is sufficient at this time. However, I will happily explore the FILTER option.

I should mention that I'm using database objects, and though I tried the filter first, it wasn't working. I'm sure it was how I implemented it ...

Extending SetScope()

I have a datafile that I use for "parts used on invoices".

For quick filterning, I use SetScope functions. ( top and bottom ). It uses the invoice number as the value for both. Thus when the invoice is open, only those parts used for that specific one will display in the xBrowse control. It all ...
