>>Speaking of Whil Hentzen (in another thread, you may not have seen it), he's got a good beginner book for sale (assuming it's still in print, I have no idea ... it was first published in 2000): "Client/Server Applications with Visual FoxPro and SQL Server" by Gary DeWitt, Chuck Urwiler, Mike Levy & Leslie Koorhan. Yeah, I may be a bit prejudiced because of one of the authors <g>, but it was a good book at the time and probably still is. >> >>~~Bonnie >i have that (it's for version 7) but I got it out and am reading it now
