Unexpected disconnecting of remote connections under VFP 9 SP1

Unexpected disconnecting of remote connections under VFP 9 SP1

• Judy Booth

  Using SP1 was however enforced by huge list of serious bugs in production version of VFP 9...

  Sorry. This is a private Beta build and I cannot release it to you, or anyone. It is not the "released' version but may be close to it - I simply don't know.
  
  As a matter of principle you should not be using Beta code in production applications anyway - for precisely the reasons we see here! Sometimes things get broken in Beta and are then fixed in later bulds - as this case seems to demonstrate. You should only ever load Beta code for testing purposes and you should never assume that what you see in a Beta version will even be in the released version - even in Public Betas!

  That I don't know about. I develop extensively in VFP and I am still running the 0.0 Release on my production applications and don't have any problems.
  
  Which "huge list of serious bugs" are you referring to Seemed to me that most of the fixes in SP1 were for things that were either trivial (i.e. had easy workarounds anyway), or just plain obscure.
  
  Notice, I'm not saying that there weren't some issues with Version 0, but I hardly think the phrase "huge list of serious bugs" is justified. But you may have different requirements than me.
  
  I would be interested to know which ones were the show-stoppers for you - the FixList included 117 items - what were the top 10 for you

  Because this problem can be seen only under runtime, we need to create aplication, which for example runs one form. This form will open some remote views (for example in load event - does not matter). Then i added command button and in Click() event this code :
  
  

  nPoc = 0

  nPoc = ASQLHANDLES(aPom)

  IF nPoc = 0

     WAIT WINDOW "All connection handles disconnected (1) !"

  ELSE

     WAIT WINDOW "OK"

  ENDIF
  

  FOR EACH form IN _VFP.forms

     * some fake code for this example * 
     IF form.name = ""

     ENDIF

  ENDFOR

  nPoc = 0

  nPoc = ASQLHANDLES(aPom)

  IF nPoc = 0

     WAIT WINDOW "All connection handles disconnected (2) !"

  ELSE

     WAIT WINDOW "Still OK"

  ENDIF

  Yes, I am using public beta SP1 - VFP version is :
  
  09.00.0000.3307 
  
  

• Tony Rosen

  I thought so. This was something in the Public Beta.
  
  I cannot reproduce the behavior you are seeing in Build Number 3504 - the code you posted functions just fine....

  Hi
  
  Is this the Public Beta of SP1 [What VFP build number are you using (output from VERSION() will tell us)]
  
  Meanwhile, I will take a look look and see if I can reproduce what you describe in the current build. If I can we will need to contact the VFP team urgently because this may be an SP1 issue and it must be close to release now...

  This has not been reported anywhere that I have seen. Can you give a reproducible example in code
  
  

• Winnie Ng

  Great, can you please send me this new version of SP1, or is it possible to download it anywhere
