I read a lot of forums but I very rarely sign up and ask a question unless I have tried many other options and still need a solution. I own a small compter servicing company which I started in 2000 mainly doing malware removal for home based customers and small businesses. I got my fist computer in 1978, a 4K Ohio Superboard. I do a lot of vbscript and basic batch file programming but I am just a beginner in Visual Foxpro Version 9. A few years back. one of my customers lost their VFP 6 programmer due to illness and I was handed the task of maintaining and fixing their database app running stand-alone on 6 computers. It's been a real challenge still getting my head around OO programing but I have managed to fix some existing bugs and make some improvements.
