• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Using VBA to download a file using FTP

  Hello, I'm looking for a way to download a file (In this instance, a simple comma-separated .txt file) from an FTP location and store it to a specific place.

• Visual Studio Team System Automated FoxPro Testing

  Does any one know a good tool for automated FoxPro Testing Currently we have TestComplete3 which claims it can find the objects in the windows, but will only see each window. Thanks. While I am unaware of any specific testing tools for FoxPro, it sounds like you are looking for UI testing tools -- while we aren't shipping any, there are third parties who I'm sure will. These should be able to plug directly into VSTS and allow you to test the UI of your fox pro application. ...Show All
