As someone who's spent more than 15 years answering people's FoxPro questions online and also writes for publication, I'm often frustrated when I point someone to an article that exactly answers their question and am told they don't subscribe, so I should explain it in a posting.<br /><br />I'm also aware of the difference between an article that covers a topic in depth and an online answer. Both have great value, but an article gives you more than just the immediate solution. A good article gives you the background understanding that makes sense of the solution and often gives you the next steps.<br /><br />In addition, reading the magazines regularly helps you get a handle on what's coming down the pike, what topics you should be paying attention to, even if you don't need them this week. <br /><br />Tamar Thanks for posting this, Rick.
