Hello,
I am not a programmer, I only work in a business office, but by
unfortunate incidents have been put in charge of updating/maintaining a
Visual Foxpro database with business information. (really ad hoc and
the person who set it up is long gone) I am currently having to travel
14 miles each way just to access the computer and update the info on
the database. We are in the process of moving the info to our server in
my building, but there is one problem. I am told that Visual Fox pro
doesn't work on machines faster than about 300-600 mhz because of some
"Divide by zero overflow error". I currently use a Pentium 2.5 Ghz
machine with 512 MB of RAM. According to the folks out at the other
office, you cannot run Visual Foxpro on a machine that fast. (The
laptop currently running the app is a 1Ghz machine with 256MB RAM) They
said they already downloaded the patch from Microsoft that was supposed
to address this , but it didn't work. Is there anyone out there who is
currently running Visual Foxpro on a fast machine using Windows 2000?
If so, how were you able to get it going? I am really worried about
this as I would hate to think that we would have to depend solely on a
3.5 yr old laptop that sounds like it is going to die at any moment.
How could Microsoft let a product fail in this way? Thanks in advance.
