Weird question here but....
Does anyone know how we can get a copy of Visual FoxPro to download. It's an older Microsoft programming application that we need.
Man I used to have it years ago. Not sure if I still have it around here or not. I will see if I still have it in a box somewhere.
In a box? :o
Yeah I had the boxed version with all of the manuals and the cd(s) that came with it. I have a feeling I tossed it a few years ago but I will rummage through my garage and shed to see if I might have kept it around. I don't feel good about it though.
May I ask why in the world you might need it? ;D
We sourced a programmer that we need to do a freelance job for us programming data and that's what he's comfortable with.
He's good, but got out of programming a while back and never had to update to a newer system.
I know the latest version (9), and I doubt I had the latest version, will not run on anything released after Windows 7. Pretty sure I was using either Windows 98 or Windows XP. It was a long time ago.

Yeah that is why I asked "
May I ask why in the world you might need it?" You can create an EXE file for databases you create in FoxPro but I doubt you can get it to run on anything after Windows 7. And only on Windows 7 if it was created from the latest version of VFP.
Maybe take a look at this as I have not found it yet.

It supports Visual Foxpro syntax and runs on OSX as well as Windows and Linux.
It also has a interactive console allowing you to simply enter Visual Foxpro commands without requiring you to write a program.

Well I found the disk. It is Visual FoxPro 5.0 for Windows 95. The latest version was version 9.0 so this one is quite a bit older. I highly recommend you acquire a time machine to go back in time to use this.
I found it in a box in my storage shed and it has been there for several years in +100° F heat in the summers and -0° F in the winters. It is COLD out there today so I am going to let it warm up to room temperature before I try putting it in a CD drive and see if it works. If it does I will create an ISO disk image and get it to you. You can then burn the ISO Disk Image to a new CD. Or DVD.

Here is the link to the ISO file.
Visual FoxPro 5.0 (https://test.b4print.com/vfp/VFP50ENU.iso)
Sent you a PM with the CD Key you will need to install.
Oh...you could burn that ISO to a USB thumb drive too if you don't want to burn to a CD/DVD. The ISO is only 205 mb.

Cool, thanks. (what part of retirement do you not understand?). ;D

Right now I am bored out of my mind. It is either cold, rainy, snowing, icing or all of the above. I need something do do indoors! >:(
wow so weird that you still had that Joe.
I can teach you how to eat snacks and watch TV!
actually you would think with a cast I would of gotten plenty of rest but I guess I need to have 2 casts to stop doing stuff
[sigh]
I found stuff to do today. I went and bought myself a new truck.
very nice!
A retirement gift for yourself?
Damn, all I got was covid
:blank:
wowiee that's nice!!
Nice. And it's historically the best time ever to get great deals on vehicles!
Very nice, Joe!
I'm supposed to get my car back from the shop Friday. Been down since the beginning of September bc they couldn't get my engine.
The car I traded is going to need a new engine eventually. It is a chevy 4 cylinder turbo that has developed an oil leak at 139,000 miles. It is going to get worse and there really isn't a permanent fix. I had it checked and it would be $7,400 to replace the engine. And it would take at least 6 months for them to even get the engine. Should have been a recall on that engine so I gave it back to them. Problem solved. :rotf:
Mine is also a 4 cylinder Turbo 2.0L. I think you're right about a recall bc they aren't putting those in their SUVs anymore. I have a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport with 72,000 miles and I believe it was the connecting rod that broke. They didn't tell me anything other than I need a new engine. It's under warranty. He tells me 3-5 months before I get it back because it takes about 2 months for the engine to come in and there are 40 engines ahead of mine.
I said, "4?"
"No, 40."
"14?"
"No, four zero."
My dude.......I believe there should be a recall.
Skryber, there was a recall, but for Kia on those engines. I believe Hyundai and Kia are owned by the same parent company. And thus the back log of engines. I just bought a new 2022 Kia in August of last year. And in doing my research I found that there were a few years before mine that had some bad engines. So as soon as I was reading your message, I thought you were going to say you had a Kia.
Did they give you another vehicle until it gets fixed?

They are owned by the same parent company. They did not give me another vehicle because there were 30 people ahead of me waiting for one. But they always say there isn't one available. My dad has an extra Sonata hybrid that he doesn't use. So my mom let me use her Sonata hybrid, my mom is using my dad's Azera and my dad is driving around illegally in the Sonata Hybrid with invalid plates from who knows what and no insurance. I offered to plate and insure it, but he doesn't listen to me. Hopefully all that is over in a few days. Thankfully my Ps are awesome, otherwise I would have to buy another car. Renting would be assinine.
So I've been driving around this hybrid since September, and I cannot get used to the delay. My car went like a house on fire once that turbo kicked in. This thing is like 2-3 seconds before it goes. It's fine once you get going but don't try to sneak a turn in between traffic. I hate it. Love the gas mileage though.
Last night I was checking out the newer Hyundais and see that they are using the 2.0T engines again. Maybe they changed them bc there was a gap where they didn't have any available. I was checking out the Kona N last night. Want.

Ps sound awesome. And yes, renting that long would be assinine.
I saw the regular Kona right after I bought my car, and thought it might have been a contender.
I'm not ready for all electric but I do kinda like the Kia EV6. I'm a big guy (6'2" 290lbs) that likes small cars. Always have. The one I would really want is the Toyota GR Yaris. But it will not be in the States, plus I'm too cheap to buy it. But if it happened, I would really have to think about it. Small 2 door with 200+ HP and all-wheel drive.
I see a problem with your truck already Joe, It has a strange looking cross thing in the grill.
It should be a blue oval looking badge for the truck to be considered good ;D ;D ;D
Ha! Shots fired.

:rotf: I know people on both sides of that aisle. Personally I've had both good and bad vehicles from both of those manufacturers. I'm convinced it is just a matter of luck what you get with any of them.
