![]() My mindset has been has most of you pointed out, that if it ain't broke don't fix it, and it doesn't need to be fixed. I wasn't expecting such a robust response and I appreciate all the replies. RE: Anyone else regularly using FPD v2.6? Steve Meyerson (Programmer) 27 Jan 22 20:59 Visual FoxPro articles, tips and downloads But if you haven't got a pressing need to do so, I wouldn't blame you for staying where you are. If you did decide to learn VFP, I think you will find it rewarding and enjoyable. ![]() And even now there are large chunks of VFP which I have never understood and probably never will. It took me the best part of a year before I really felt on top of object orientation and event-driven processing. I'm sure I'm not the only one in that situation.īut I have to say that moving from 2.5 even to 3.0 was no small effort. I've been able to create applications that I am really proud of, which I would never have been able to do in FPD or FPW. Since then, it's provided me with a steady flow of training, writing and software development work for over 20 years. ![]() I got into Visual Foxpro back in June 1995. On that basis alone - and given that you seem to be perfectly happy with 2.6 - I don't think anyone can give you a bad time for not moving to the visual word. From what you said in your post, it looks like all the work that you have developed has been for your own use. Your circumstances are probably a bit different from that of most of us in this forum. Is there anyone else who still hangs onto the old way? RE: Anyone else regularly using FPD v2.6? Steve Meyerson (Programmer) 27 Jan 22 14:30 I'm also not excited about learning a new language to run VFP most efficiently. I have a copy of VFP9 but have never installed it, mostly because I don't really need to at this time and I think re-coding my old code would be a daunting task with all the older code that's accumulated over the years. It is as much a practical effort as it is a challenge, as I'm always making changes-often waking in the middle of the night saying "I wonder if I can make it do this." I am frequently amazed at what can be done with a program that's so old. It is accessed through my main box running Win10 Pro 圆4 via Remote Desktop and it all works flawlessly. It runs on a Win10 Pro x86 computer dedicated to FP with two spare computers running Win7 Pro x86 to take up the chores should the current machine fail. I keep track of my movie collection, orders, beer and wine info, car maintenance, medical, financial, and several other topics. After 30 years using DBase II, Foxbase, and FPD 2.0, 2.5, and 2.6 mostly to keep business records I still work with it on a daily basis. That should kill it.I'm just curious if there is anyone left in the known universe still actively using FPD 2.6. I could also take the top off of an older drive if needed and get my dad to blow smoke into it. I just don't recall if the drive was SATA or IDE. The drive was modified so we could see the heads move. I cut open a drive years ago and added a lexan window. I may be able to come up with a RAIDZ2 system to test on and maybe even have a drive which would fail. I will work on building up and filling up some hard drives with data. ![]() So if you have something for me to try, let me know. Well I guess it's time to reconnect my test system and I have a lot of hard drives I could test this out on. I may go ahead and attach an older hard drive to my system to test this stuff out, I certainly will not do this on my main system. I'm not sure of any other FreeNAS testing which we can run off the top of my head. Additionally should we add something like this because the Disks Utility is not on FreeNAS:ġ) If SMART reviles nothing and you still feel like you have a problem, do the following:Ģ) Run Solnet-Array-Test (I'd have to add a link to it).ģ) Run Bad Blocks (Warning - Destructive Test). ![]()
