Eric,

I have the new Hacker's Guide sitting right here, thank you.

My point was that it documents bugs and "features" of VFP and tht the 3.0 version has been in print for about 3 years now.
A golden opportunity for the VFP team to do fixups and amend/clarify documentation, but with little evidence that *any* of it was incorporated!

I see this, and failure to incorporate KB articles or VFP Site repetetively asked questions (obviously suggesting inclarity in the docs) as evidence that they don't really care about their documentation.

As to your prior point about FLUSH being an old command:
FLUSH saved my bacon many many times in the days before transactions and such. Many 'old timers' (going back to FP 2, etc) have similar experience.
Now VFP introduces buffering and TableUpdate and other things, but does NOT make any amendments to the FLUSH command to state how it might (or might not) operate when those features are employed.
So you can't blame us for assuming that it just *might* work just fine with these things.
All they had to do was to tell us how it interracted with the new stuff. Is that really too much to ask?

Cheers,

Jim N

>>Since you brought up the Hacker's Guide, it was published for VFP 3, over 2 years ago. How much of what is directly communicated to the VFP Team by that tome has been integrated into the Help or documentation? How many fixes have been done as a result? How much clarifications have been incorporated as a result?
