Hi,
Can you recommend any books/resources for ODBC access?
I understand how VFP uses remote views, but when I use SQL Pass-Through, I have heard that there are ODBC "Escape Sequences" to be aware of. Also, it took me too long to figure out how to access Excel viw ODBC. The only book I found was for "C" programmers, not quite where I wanted to go.

Also, can you recommend any books/resources for VBA programming of Word? I need to do a mail-merge and am not quite sure how to do it. If the user tells me the name of the document, can I query the document to find out what fields it expects, etc.?

TIA,
