FiveTech Software tech support forums

Hello,

Becide the sample's from the sample folder, are there any other working samples of invoice software around ?
Maybe starting projects from FW Users that are now suspended of never developed anymore ?

I would like to look into the source's and look for idea's, workaround, ....

Thanks in advance.

Marc,

have you reviewed FWH\samples\yunus.prg ?

It is a great example

Yes, I did. It is a very good sample. Based on that, I dicided to rebuild partial my old FW16 version to the new FWH, with samples I found in the forum.

I have to admin, I'm a cut and paste programmer with editing skilles , but I don't sell. Only for personel company use.

So therefore, samples with working code are so great for me.

Marc,

I can tell you FWH is a very good tool for creating an invoicing package. I've been using it for 18 years now ( replacing my 17 years of Clipper code with it back in 1999 ). However my source is not available since it is the basis of my income ....

I will share that the fully integrate package I created, and continually update/enhance, is extensive and is done 100% in FWH.

I too have an invoicing program designed for law offices which includes calendaring and general ledger functions. I first wrote it in 1985 using dbaseII, switched briefly to the Wordtech compiler before going to clipper (summer 87) which was used until switching to Fivewin for the Windows version released in '99, then switched to FWH in 2003. Its over 250,000 lines of code which would be unintelligible to anyone but me. Although its still in use by over 1000 law firms in the US at this point its something of a legacy dinosaur. New sales are rare as people these days want snazzy cloud apps with all the latest bells and whistles. Doing the work to convert to SQL files and redesign to be competitive is beyond me so I am just hoping to keep my existing customers paying their annual support contracts as long into the future as possible.

Sounds totally familiar. I followed the same path and enjoyed conferences at Ashton Tate ( did the dbase II and dbase III thing ), did the journey to Word Tech and then loved Clipper from its initial release. In fact I still have many of the old manuals.

I have some code I can share with you .. download the file from the link Invoice.zip ... the source is about 6500 lines of code and it uses Ado, Hash's, timers, and xBrowse with EDIT_GET.

Included is the workview.rc and workview.prg ...

Dear Rick,

May I have it?

Rick,

I tested the downloadlink.
There I had to give my email-address for the download
but got nothing in return.
That is the reason I'm using the space of my homepage for downloads.

not working :

I downloaded it ok. Had to wait a time for the link, and also had to view a 'sponsored' movie.

I also use space from my homepage. Is easy and no extra's...

I don't think Rick would mind if I put it here ? If not, Rick let me know.

Ok, Rick, thanks for the data. Had a quick look and already saw stuff that is very usefull for my learning process.

@ Uwe,

I vagely remember to have seens a invoice sample from you in the forum ? But I don't find it anymore. Maybe a sample that you put in the samples program of yours ?

Marc,

A complete invoice sample I can't remember I added as a download.
I'm using the different sections of my invoice-program < home health care >
for practical tests of new solutions. Sometimes parts are placed in the forum.

Useful samples are added to my new < sample-collector >.
The collector will be updated after adding some more samples.

regards
Uwe
