>I am a mainframe coder by trade and have received a VFP 6.0 system to manage and code for. I had a very good class with David Anderson for a week. Somehow that did not seem long enough. It made sense in class, now its real world. I am looking for a tool to help me map out what all the little modules and code snippets I find are doing and how they all tie in to the big picture of the executable. I have between 80-100 modules in this program, that works well but the users of course want changes and I want to create some business logic documentation ( which there is none). Any suggestions?

First, I recommend you go to www.hentzenwerke.com and look at the VFP books. The Effective Techniques by Booth/Sawyer will be quite helpful during your transition. There is also a book by Rick Strahl, Internet Apps with VFP 6.

The class borwser is OK for viewing all the code for a specific class. There is also a tool that Rox Seibert alerted us to earlier this week. This is what she posted:

>Here's a cool tip for folks that do alot of VFP class development in prg's. Go grab the Class Navigator utility from Flash on the COM Codebook download page (http://www.comcodebook.com)

>It gives you a visual representation of class attributes and other usual details in a scaled down class browser type deal that is so dang handy it makes me wonder where it's been all my life! It really helped me get up to speed quickly with knowing my way around all the Web Connect prg classes, great tool - and it's not just for COM Codebook stuff!
