Kevin;

I worked with a guy who proudly claimed he never read a VFP book and learned “everything” about the product from the Help File. This individuals lack of knowledge would fill volumes!

The Help File would be of more assistance if it included information about the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus. It could then be rightfully called “A Fairy Tale”. Some people are insistent that “everything is in the Help File”. I do not think so. :)
