Hi Roman,

Do you have any "un-opened" Christmas gifts around too? :)

Here's my advice for you:

1) Stop being so timid.

2) Unzip the product,

3) install it

4) Read the user's manual

5) Run the tutorial and sample pages (if there are any).

6) Think of a little project you would like to build

7) Try using the example pages provided to build your project (with the changes you make to suit your individual project needs).

If you still have any questions on how to use the product ask them here.

Hugh

Microsoft hears loudest what the VFP community says about Visual FoxPro by looking at the bottom line!

Support the product. Buy the latest version!
