Yea, I've browsed it at the bookstore after hearing such good things.

What it leads me to ask, though, is why can't MS do that for us right in VFP's Help??? - especially since the Hacker's Guide provides a primary example!

>The nice thing about it, they listed every command and function, what each was for (according MS), then explained what it really did. If there was a gotcha or bug that they found, they had a little bug icon and an explanation.

>>>I agree VFP Help should be more definitive, that's why I bought Granor's Hacker's Guide. (Unfortunately?) My reply was based on experience and nothing in VFP Help. Based on that past experience, I continue to assume past experience still holds true [e.g., and INSERT will move the record pointer to that newly inserted record, UPDATE ... WHERE... will move pointer to EOF]
