Hi Tracy,

I consider online reference sources to be at least as significant as printed ones, in roughly the following order of importance:

1. UT
2. News2News
3. FoxTalk

To me, all of these are well worth the price. I was considering dropping my FoxTalk subscription, until I just realized that it also gets me full access to Pinnacle's online FoxTalk subscriber content. (For all these years I didn't know that the subscription included more than that issue's downloads.)

I'll take a Code subscription as long as I get it for free, but it doesn't have enough VFP content to justify my paying for it.

I've never subscribed to FoxPro Advisor, but given the choice between that and FoxTalk, I'd prefer to stick with FoxTalk. My sense of it is that this is the more advanced of the the two.
