Hi Randall,

In my opinion this forum is the best for VFP Developers. Note, that the forum itself is developed in VFP + west-wind

The other forum, which you may try, is on tek-tips website. There are also local forums in various languages (I know one Russian forum www.foxclub.ru) and MS newsgroups.

This forum sometimes has flame wars in Chatter category of VFP and Chatter forum itself. I personally always skip long threads lurking only occassionally. The paid accounts will give you a benefit of using Search feature and other usefull personal settings, so it's really good.
