Maybe looking beyond the VFP help files shouldn't be necessary except on rare occasions, but I'll accept solutions for problems anywhere I can find them. I think that the resources available for VFP programmers are probably better than any other database product. If what I want to do can be done, I can always find answers in one of the following places:

1) In the stored 50,000 VFP messages in the Universal Thread or by posting a new message.
2) The Microsoft Knowledge base
3) The Microsoft developers network CD (or in MSDN on the internet)
4) The various Compuserve forums
5) http://www.ping.be/~ping0150/webboard/webboard.html
6) http://hexadec.com.sg/cgi-local/Forum/bbs_forum.cgi
7) Third party books
8) The real help files on VFP
9) The real Microsoft manuals
10) Only on extreeemly rare occasions - from a living tech support person
