Clients (mostly but not exclusively network users) are experiencing problems ...

One of my clients found my VFP application is slower in his Chinese Windows

What would people recommend using as the back end for a conversion project

I have just upgraded from VFP6 to VFP9 and have had no real problems
with my programs apart from the odd minor syntax change.  The problem
thats bugging me is I like to cut and paste into my Foxpro screens

Can somebody help me by showing me how to disable and then enable a network
card through VFP 9?
I can already tell by which IP address the user has obtained if they are

Is there a thread or article which addresses this? I am also

I have several *.app files that I keep out of the project. They

written in VB and I need to convert it to VFP.  I think there is some word
wrapping issues too.  But my specific two things are

I have an application that up until yesterday was able to maximize a window
using SHOWWINDOW in user32.dll  Now I get an error message that says that it
cant fine an entry point for SHOWWINDOW in the dll.  Did MS move this into a
different dll?  Does anyone know what happened?

Lately I've been having a problem with the Visual FoxPro 9 IDE.  It
has come up several times that when I have a syntax error while
closing a code editing window, the FoxPro IDE will give a fatal error
and end without saving any changes.  It doesn't happen every time, but

How can I make a program start in the same place on the screen as it was
 when it shutdown?
I expect instead of trying to save the location to the registry I'd go
for in a file in the startup dir but however it's easiest.

It is possible to send to print 2 reports at the same time, that is to say,
as if it was

I recently installed the October SP2 and the June Sedna beta (in that
