>>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.

I have Nelson King's book for VFP 3.0. Although I have used a couple of ideas from it, I didn't think that it was all that informative. Yes, better organized that the VFP docs for sure, but I think that it could have been better.
