Craig,

You didn't ask me, but I thought I would answer anyways.

I finished that book last week. In my humble opinion it was VERY BASIC and did NOT offer anything new over what is available in the VFP documentation. In fact I would say there was far less information in it (despite its thickness).

HOWEVER, it was better organized (my opinion) than the VFP documentation.

I felt somewhat misled by the title, expecting to read a lot more about "framework", the benefits thereof, and recommendations for making one's own. There was extremely LITTLE in this regard.
It comes with a diskette, but there was so little in the book that I never even bothered with the diskette. Maybe everything that I feel was missing is in there, but if it is there ought to be some clear mention of its content in the book. There was almost nil on that!

All in all, I think it would be helpful for a genuine novice, but I think I am a tiny bit beyond that and I found it not enlightening at all.

regards,
Jim N

>Carl, please let me know what you think of the book. I haven't been impressed with Nelson King's stuff in the past, but with so few VFP 5.0 books, I want to give this one a fair shake.
