Denis,

>Is there something happening elsewhere for VFP that we're really missing? You see I exclusively use the UT. Do I really miss that much?

As Craig said, the UT is awesome, but there are many additional resources to supplement your VFP information needs!

There's some great VFP content on Tek-Tips.com - 5 separate VFP forums in fact. Extremely high content to noise ratio. Plus the best collection of VFP FAQ I've come across yet (many of them thanks to Craig Boyd).

Steve Black's www.fox.wikis.com is another great resource. Over 5500 topics, most of them VFP related and many with code snippets.

Ed Leafe's Profox mailing list is another valuable resource. Noise level can be high at times (make sure to sign up for the ProfoxTech vs. Profox list). You can search the Profox archives via

There's also a great French based VFP website (content in French)
www.atoutfox.org

And a great Belgium website where all the content is in English:
www.foxite.com

Then there's also VFUG (VFP User Group) which has a great monthly news letter and some decent code archives. Definitely worth subscribing to.
http://vfug.org/

There's also a bunch of small, regional VFP user groups that publish their own newletters. For example, even though I live in NJ, I subscribe to Dan Covill's San Diego VFP User Group newsletter which is a delightful mix of ecletic VFP related info with good sense of dry/wry humor. There are many more such newsletters to choose from.

There's several Compuserve VFP forums and both FoxTalk and FoxPro Advisor have their 15 year collection of articles online, searchable with a fair number of articles available for free (subscribers to the magazines get access to all content). And there's a growing number of VFP related blogs with great, timely content.

Finally, last but not least, is Rick Strahl's West-Wind messageboard which is a treasure trove of VFP solutions many of which are independent of Rick's products. (Thanks Rick!)

I'm sure there are many more great sources of VFP content and community. This list was from the top of my head - apologies for any services or communities I may have missed.
