Helen graduated from Moscow State University with an MS in Mathematics. Greg McCann and Nancy Crewdson, both of whom are Visual FoxPro experts, join her in forming the core of our FoxPro capability. Others in the company have Visual FoxPro experience and can be called upon as needed.

Sample Visual FoxPro Programming Projects

  • The Crown Jewel of our Visual FoxPro programming projects has been an evolving system developed over the past decade for the Evapco Corporation, a major Maryland-based manufacturer of industrial and commercial air conditioning and refrigeration units. The sales tools we developed include a pair of Electronic catalogs that allow Evapco internal and external reps to select equipment for their customers, based on the unique requirements of the customer. The project allows users to easily select from among thousands of available models that include cooling towers, evaporative condensers, closed circuits coolers and evaporators. There are tools for adding optional accessories for each selected model. The system keeps track of selection projects and prints quotes, orders, technical specifications and drawings. Once equipment and optional accessories have been selected, the program determines the number of trucks and types of trucks required to ship it to the destination, and calculates freight costs.

    This software is used in USA, Europe, South Africa, China and Asia and has modifications for each of the areas where it is used, including the ability to display specifications in both English and metric measurements, and to display costs in a wide variety of currencies. It is available in English, Spanish, French, Italian and German.

  • In another Visual FoxPro programming effort, Cambria wrote a program for the California Province of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) to help them keep track of and pay expenses for Priests throughout the western states.

  • A current Visual FoxPro project for Silicon Valley based International Wafer company allows them to track inventory, fill orders, and pay sales commissions.

  • In a Visual FoxPro application for California-based Strategy Development Group, Cambria developed the “Competitive Selling Strategy Software (CSS) for planning and managing effective selling strategies. This software enables a salesperson to enter the "Road Map" for a potential sale or account. The Road map screen provides a graphic diagram of the projected future steps in the development of the account, sub account or sale over time. This project made innovative use of the graphics capabilities of Visual FoxPro.
