I timed myself from the the first time I opened a Fox journal to when I put it down, after gleaning all of the technical info that I considered of value. For FoxTalk, I spent 2 hours mulling over the 24 pages. It was, as usual, a very meaty issue... For FPA, about 15 minutes. The technical content of FPA has been down, way down. My three favorite aspects of FPA:

John,
I agree with you. I'm currently writing an article for FPA. It is VFP specific, but describes how to do something that we see in many applications that most VFP developers don't do, so hopefully it will get people thinking.
