Thanks Steve. I also have the CD-ROM Mastering Visual FoxPro and Mastering Visual Basic 4.0. I have had some experience working with Visual Basic--another great language. I really enjoy them both. I just could never get used to those code blocks in Clipper though. I am really enjoying the Yellow Pages. It really has been a rich source of information. Did you ever go to any of the Clipper Conferences that were held out at Palm Springs in the earl 90's?
