Esther;

Welcome!

A suggestion if I may. It would be a good idea to use a few testers from different walks of life who are not familiar with VFP to test documentation. Perhaps a VB person or two and a few others. VFP developers tend to have great knowledge of the product so including persons who know little or nothing of the product may be a good test.

Trying to write a technical manual or similar document is a challenge as you do not know who your audience is. Having written some 10,000 technical documents for the Metrology/Calibration Industry I can appreciate what you are doing!

>I wanted to respond to the mention about documentation and quickly introduce myself to others on UT. I joined the Visual FoxPro User Education team at Microsoft about a month ago and am currently working on the documentation.

>
>The next public release of the docs will contain a "Send feedback" link for each topic page so that you can submit context-sensitive feedback for us to review. We are also encouraging those who are participating in the testing process to provide feedback on the documentation.

>In the meantime, we're working on other ways that we can encourage specific constructive feedback. We'll keep you posted on any developments we come up with. Perhaps a forum on documentation here at UT would provide an arena for that?
