Posted on October 13, 2006. Filed under: Visual FoxPro |

You may have read Milind’s October letter where he mentions how to log feedback on the SP2 CTP. He links to the Connect site here: http://connect.microsoft.com

VFP: How to price your VFP projects

Posted on October 4, 2006. Filed under: Visual FoxPro |
