Thanks Bob,

Sounds like I should order it regardless, so here goes... (off to the Hentzenwerkes).

>>>Let me second this recomendation. I would say, if you are going to buy only ONE book on VFP, get Hackers Guide, but, if you are going to buy two, and you want a book that tells you how things work, and how to perform certain magic, KiloFox is the book you need.

>>I would like to know the 'quality' of the Index and, more particularly, the .CHM file. I have yet to find one that comes close to the one with Hacker's. I am not impressed by the ones with other of the Hentzenwerkes books that I bought. They are adequate but pale in comparison to Hacker's, at least as I use these things.
