>I have been working as a contract programmer since 1986. I started with dBaseIII+ and have written apps in FoxBase, FoxPro/DOS, FoxPro/Windows and Visual Foxpro v5 throgh v7. I'm thinking it might be time for a little training, spcifically in the areas of integrating VFP with MS Office and the Web.

Hi Larry,

Head on over to Hentzenwerke Publishing and get "Microsoft Office Automation with Visual FoxPro" (http://www.hentzenwerke.com/catalogpricelists/autofox.htm). You'll have some great Office integration training for a few dollars and a weekend spent trying out the examples. There's also "Internet Applications with Visual FoxPro 6.0" (http://www.hentzenwerke.com/catalogpricelists/intvfp.htm) for integrating VFP and the Web, although you'll have to look elsewhere for info about Web Services.
