Hi Walter.

I don't know if I'm going to agree with this. I don't recall having trouble finding anything that I did eventually find.

< lol >!!!! I am not sure what you mean by this. You mean you found what you were looking for immediately? What aboout the stuff that you didn't find < s > ? Or did you find everything you ever looked for on the web? And everything that you found was of superior quality?

I'm merely defending myself in not buying VFP books. I'm perfectly capable of programming my way out of a paper box (remember the trick of getting a record showing at the top row without using setfocus?). I don't spend a whole lot of time to find specific code solutions to problems. I'm comfortable enough to find them rather quickly. I spend more time in analyzing the client needs, designing and straightforward programming than findoing out how I to create a mailmerge, send an email, set up a layered application, how to write a C/S / n-tier application.

Well, you must be a lot smarter than I am < s >. Personally, I can use all help I can get.

If you're honest, you will agree that the UT, WIKI, MSDN, google newsgroups do contain a wealth of information. Far more than you'll ever find in any book.

If I'm honest, I can tell you that there is more information on the web than I'll ever find in a single book. But that does not address the issue of the quality of that information < s >.
