Were gonna have to agree to disagree on this one. I think the SQL BOL are the best development tool documentation that I have ever worked with.

>The VFP Documentation team do a great job, but they simply cannot cover all the angles and to attribute any perceived shortcomings to laziness on their part seems a little ungracious to say the least.

I agree with you here. No matter how through the documentation is, most docuemtation focus on one specific item or command. I think what Jim and most of us would like to see is more of 'how' things work in the background and 'how' to perform certain meta tasks. Of course, the VFP samples and FFC go a long way to help with this.
