George and I had talked about me helping him and he was going to<br>provide guidance but sadly that never happened before his passing. A<br>complicating factor is George was on FilePro 5.0 and I guess there are<br>potential conflicts if I use the 6.0 version that I will have to watch out<br>for.<br><br>Jeff Bandle<br><br>----- -----<br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br> This list is probably your most valuable ally. I'm sure we would all<br>be willing to help out if you run into a filePro problem you can't figure<br>out. If it turns into a big problem, several of us are independent<br>programmers who can be hired to help you fix it. <br><br> I also do filePro training classes. I'm doing most of the training<br>virtually now, so can include you in one of my sessions. <br><br> Or, if you let me know where you live, I can probably get you in on one<br>of my on-site training classes. (The classes are usually at one individual<br>company, but some of them have allowed me to invite "strangers" in.<br>Depending on the Covid situation, I may be doing training in Phoenix, AZ and<br>Courtland, NY this year.)<br><br> You might want to try to buy a copy of Stuart Werner's filePro<br>Developers Reference. (I just tried to bring up the STN.com web site, but<br>was unable to. I hope STN is not out of business...) <br><br> George's library may already have a copy of the reference, even if it<br>is an older edition. (The last edition only covered version 5 of filePro.)<br><br> I've acquired a couple of the older filePro printed manuals. They only<br>cover filePro through version 4.1, but I still find the programming info and<br>examples invaluable. Again, George's library may have a copy. <br><br> I might be persuaded to send you one of my copies of the filePro manual<br>if you can't find one elsewhere.<br><br> You might want to look for issues of the old newsletters that John Esak<br>put out. I have some of these newsletters, but I am in the process of<br>moving and they are packed in boxes in my storage unit right now. <br><br> I sure wish I could get a complete set of the old Esak newsletters. I<br>would love to have a complete set. If anybody has a set and if John Esak<br>would give permission to scan them in, I would pay the neighbor kid to scan<br>them in and create PDF's for me... <br><br> You can also contact Laura Brody to see if she still has the old<br>"filePro Goddess" journals. There were only a few of those, but they had a<br>lot of good filePro tips and tricks in them.<br><br>Hope that helps!<br><br>Mike Schwartz<br><br><br> <br><br> <br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Filepro-list mailing list<br>Filepro-list@lists.celestial.com<br>Subscribe/Unsubscribe/Subscription Changes<br>http://mailman.celestial.com/mailman/listinfo/filepro-list<br></body></html>
