dBASE PLUS 2.70
With Free ODBC Drivers By DataDirect Technologies:

THE NEW dBASE PLUS 2.70 is here and it's filled with features and dozens of improvements dBASE users have asked us for.

Just look what you'll find in the NEW VERSION:

Updates and Enhancements

dBASE 2.70 has been built with the new Microsoft compiler in order to make dBASE more compatible with newer OS's.
Revised Syntax for BUILD command to add INI clause and UAC clause as follows:
Revised Syntax:
BUILD <filename>[, <filename> ...] /FROM <resp-filename>
[ICON <filename>] [SPLASH <filename>] [TO <exe-filename>]
[WEB] [INI [ON | OFF | ROAM]]
[UAC]

Where:
INI OFF - indicates that application will NOT create or use an ini file
INI ROAM - indicates that application will create and use an ini file under the user's CSIDL_APPDATA folder
INI or INI ON - indicates that application .exe will create and use an ini file in whichever folder other UseUACPaths settings specify. This is the same as NOT specifying an INI clause at all.

When UAC is specified the resulting .exe is built with an embedded default to set _app.UseUACPaths to True when the .exe is run.
Improved FILE() function:
Added code to allow source alias paths to be used with the File() function
Improved GETFILE() and PUTFILE() functions.
Added ability to GetFile() and PutFile() to pass a File Type Group name in File Type List parameter such as:

f = getfile("","Title",true,"Web Images (*.jpg,*.png,*.gif,*.bmp)")
Code Enhancements:
Added ability to specify a source alias in an #include directive.
For example:
#include :MyCode:MyHeader.h

NEW Windows Vista and Windows 7 compatibility:

Implemented additional User Account Control (UAC) compatibility code by adding useUACPaths property to _app object

dBASE Plus now has the ability to adhere to the Vista and Windows 7 conventions with regard to the location where dBASE Plus creates and stores its .ini file (containing user settings), where dBASE instructs the BDE to create its temporary files and the default path for the default session at dBASE startup.
Implemented a new utility ':dBStartup:InitNewUser.pro' which will run the first time a particular user launches dBASE Plus (or a dBASE application).
In dBASE Plus, InitNewUser.pro will create private copies of the various converter and sample folders as follows:
- Converters
- dBLClasses
- dQuerySamples
- Include
- Media
- Samples
- Web
In a dBASE application, a custom InitNewUser.pro can be used to perform custom setup tasks for a new user.
Implemented the ability to create 'User BDE Aliases' which allow each user to create and delete their own Database Aliases. See the 'INI' section in the Plus help files for more information.
Implemented new .chm (Microsoft HTML help files). This elimanates the need to download a Microsoft utility to allow for compatibility with the old .htm help files.

NEW session methods and properties:

new session.addAlias() method.
The addAlias() method can be used to add a User BDE Alias to the current BDE session.
new session.deleteAlias() method.
The deleteAlias() method can be used to delete temporary BDE Aliases being used in the current _app.session.
Added new tempPath property to the Session class. tempPath contains the path for the session's temporary files and may be changed to use an alternate directory (as long as no queries or stored procedures are active).

New _app.properties:

Added useUACPaths property to Indicate whether or not dBASE or a dBASE application should create and maintain private copies of various files and folders for each user according to Window's User Account Control (UAC) rules.
Added iniFile property to _app object to surface the full path and filename to the dBASE or dBASE application .ini file. This takes the guess work out of figuring out which folder the .ini file is located in.
Added allUsersPath property to _app object which is a reference to the Bin folder in the Windows CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA directory.
Added currentUserPath property to _app object which is a reference to the Bin folder in the Windows CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA directory

	New Commands:
	Added new command RMDIR (Remove Directory) to dBASE PLUS. RMDIR attempts to remove the specified directory. It can only remove a directory if the directory is empty and is not currently in use by any program. Also added synonym command RD which works the same way
