I have just started delving into VdB7 after many years of using DOS based dBase(s). I have read the manuals and have read through two books on VdB5, both of which were useless as.............. for my applications. The help system I find even worse. They all go into extreme detail on very basic items but all seem lacking on anything beyond the basics. I've seen references to a Help/FAQ site, but unfortunately it is blocked until next month. Well, enough b*tching... My fist question is: are there any other on-line references for basic questions? For example one problem that I am pulling what little of my hair I have out is how does one do the equivelent of [REPLACE] to a field within a form? Secondly, I have had no luck searching for VdB7 books and from reading the posts apparently there are none. Can anyone recommend a decent book tutorial that goes beyond "this is a form, this is a database"? Thanks for your time. Gene Horr genehorr@swbell.net
