CHARGED UP my GetRight Download Manager last night downloading foxpro-related utilities and sample source codes at leafe.com’s download section. The VFP CodeBook, a good reference material can also be found in the said site.
And while you’re there, i suggest you check the Email list section which holds ProFox and ProFoxTech, two of the leading e-mail support list for VFP.
