Product Description

Synopsis
The major enhancements in this edition over the previous edition will be coverage of the Microsoft Transaction Server and integration with Microsoft SQL Server--the two most important additions in version 6. Coverage of the enhanced debugger, profiler, and Year 2000 compliance checker will also be important to this audience. The new debugger and Year 2000 checker will automate much of the tedious FoxPro debugging process from the past. This book is aimed at the experienced, professional FoxPro developer--unlike most of the competition. This book will provide a "visual development" foundation for those programmers moving to Visual FoxPro, but will not provide basic introductory FoxPro and database coverage for brand new users. Experienced users will find the "Techniques from the Pros" provide plenty of in-depth reference and examples. An additional section will cover integration with other Visual Studio applications--particularly Microsoft SQL Server.

1.0 out of 5 stars Anything is better than this book., 20 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This book is so disjointed that it was absolutely useless as a guide to learning FoxPro. Okay, I did learn something but the payoff for the hours wasted reading this book was minimal. Even after mastering some of the concepts the layout made for a horrible reference. Do not buy this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a manual for quick help, but a guide to study!, 13 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Dear friends, don't use this book to solve a problem you've NOW. If you never programmed with VFP, this iS NOT the best book to buy. Read it, as a guide to understand what VFP has to give in several aspects, that other books just mentioned. Here, you have complete examples (althouth they should come on a CD-Rom) that can be VERY useful to your application. It has a little of everything, but doesn't focus too much (it's up to you find the rest of the way). But, i think it's a good book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not helpful - a book for the expert, 22 Jan 2003
If you already know Visual Foxpro you may find this book useful. But if you are converting from Foxpro / Clipper (as I am), you will be frustrated by the lack of worked examples and a description of the basic functions and controls of VFP. For example the section on the Report Designer will not help you unless you already know how to use the Report Designer. Reading other reviews, it appears that this book is meant to show the new features of VFP6. Does anyone have a copy of "Using Visual Foxpro 5 (seriously) I will buy it!

1.0 out of 5 stars A very bad rip-off of Using Visual Foxpro 5
Do not waste good money on this book. Although it may not cover all the new functions of Visual 6, you would be better to buy Using Visual Foxpro 5. Read more

This book attempts to explain Foxpro from the ground-level up. You must read it chapter by chapter and study the example programs (not included with the book). Read more
