>My partner and I took the SBT Technical classes about a year and a half ago. You don't get much for your money ($1500) in my opinion. It was taught by an accountant who dabbled in programming. At the time of the class I was just beginning programming in VFP but I still felt I was as good or better a programmer than the guy teaching the class. These guys definitely knew accounting and how to fix problems that occurred in day to day processing but if you are looking for ways to enhance SBT's base functionality this class will not help much.

I second the emotion.

I spoke with one of the higher ups @ SBT about 2 months ago and he quelched the rumors that SBT was going to get it right, in our eyes, with release 6. He is currently working on SQL Server storage instead of dbf's. But no change in the cone, only a change in data fetching.

SBT = Sad But True
