I just sent in the feedback.
I understand your fustration. Things change rapidly and sometimes the docs don't keep up. IMO, they are getting a lot better. However, if you go into the situation knowing that all the cross references aren't there, using the Search option becomes second nature.

>Agreed, but I just wish that the online help could be more thorough and cross reference these important topics. I mean, when I got the error dialog, I clicked on the Help button which led me to "Object code is too long to be compiled [...]" with no mention of the SYS(3055) topic. This is the help that is first provided by VFP. IMO it would have been more useful to have shown the SYS(3055) instead!
