Hi Darren,

I believe it would be very usefull. I created a VFP app about a year ago that used Word to produce letters using VBA from within VFP. After many difficulties I contacted MS and was told that there was no hard copy regarding VFP/VBA. I have never be able to find a really good book that covers it. There are some significant differences between VFP/VBA and Word/EXCEL/VB VBA. Specifying a font for instance. It took a lot of time to resolve these. There is one problem I never did resolve: how to do a search/replace in a Word document using VBA from inside VFP. And none of it will work unless your using at least VFP5 and Word 7 with the latest patches.

I read a few posts here a while back that it was not even worth the effort to attempt integrating VFP and OutLook. I believe much will change for the better with Office 2000. I attended the MS presentation last week and was impressed.

Such a manual could be very helpfull. Good Luck.

Regards,

Paige
