Thanks for the quick reply! :) I started learning Visual FoxPro 5.0 about 2 months ago. I can follow the code in the Solutions & Tastrade databases pretty well, but I am really struggling now that I'm trying to develop my own programs. Do you know of any good books that go beyond the Visual FoxPro Language Reference, that actually explain the commands in detail, lists examples of using the command, & possibly lists the method(s) where the command is most commonly used? Thanks for any suggestions! :)
