Hullo Michael -

see http://www.hentzenwerke.com
and
http://www.hentzenwerke.com/catalog/efftech.htm
http://www.hentzenwerke.com/catalog/certfox6.htm
http://www.hentzenwerke.com/catalog/vfpbp10.htm

Perhaps the Company you Work For will buy the books for you.

Regards [Bill]

Hi Michael,

I'm really curious why the apps will only work with VFP6 since the Fox team
worked hard to ensure backward compatibility.

By the way, one of the books Bill mentioned,
http://www.hentzenwerke.com/catalog/vfpbp10.htm, was prepared during the
VFP9 time frame and most likely is not restricted to VFP6 features.

thank you all for all of the information

actually I need an F1 (Help) list of all the functions and data
structures that are available for VFP6

I tried to use commands such as GETWORDCOUNT() and VFP6 does not
understand this function

The help file for VFP6 was on a different installation CD from VFP because
it was then considered part of MSDN. It's probably fairly difficult to find
these days.

Fortunately, http://www.hentzenwerke.com/catalog/hackfox6.htm should help
you a lot. The Hacker's Guide in CHM format makes a better help file than
the VFP help file itself.

And GetWordCount() (or something similar -- wordcount() I think) *did* exist
in VFP 6. It was just in the foxtools.fll API library.

1. install VFP 6 SP5 (is it 5? I forgot.. :)
2. copy the FOXHELP.CHM (exact name forgot) from
the MSDN CD accompanying the VFP6 to the program
directory of VFP6
3. Starts VFP 6
4. SET HELP ON (if you haven't done so)
5. HELP <keyword>

You may need to set the Help file location:

Select Tools | Options from the main menu, select the "File Locations"
tab of the dialog box, and make sure that the "Help File" entry is
filled in. If you don't have the MSDN files, this would be a good place
to put a pointer to the .CHM version of the Hacker's Guide that Dan so
rightly recommended.

(BTW, you can save a few bucks - and get immediate gratification - by
ordering any of Henzenwerke's books as an e-book only).

Make sure you click on the "Set as default" button before you close the
Options dialog, or your changes will be go away when you quit.

Rush (or anyone),

I want to "put a pointer to the .CHM version of the Hacker's Guide
that Dan so rightly recommended" but I am having problems downloading
the electronic version of the linked book - has anyone downloaded the
electronic version and/or the .CHM?

sorry for being a pest but I REALLY want to use the CHM,
Michael

Can you describe "having trouble"? Did you purchase the book? Have you
written to Hentzenwerke support?

It's not a free download, y'know. <s>

'Having trouble downloading the book' ?
If your payment was successful to Hentzenwerke, then,
as Dan Freeman (formerly a Prince Among Men) mentions,
contact Hentzenwerke Support.

Hi Michael,

if the original vfp6 help is sufficient:
With Visual Studio 6 you also got
MSDN Library 1998 version. Install that
and you also get the vfp6 help installed.

Bye, Olaf.
