1.0 out of 5 stars
The book of lies...,
This review is from: Microsoft Visual FoxPro: Language Reference (Paperback)
At work, this book has come to be known as the "Book of Lies." Examples are sparse, entries are omitted (e.g. NODEFAULT() is mentioned in the companion text, but no entry in this "comprehensive" language reference). Alphabetization leaves much to be desired, as spaces count: "List Property" comes before "ListBox" but yet underscore prefixes (as in _Tally) are alpha'd as if the underscore isn't there. The "SEE ALSO" sections of each entry are sickly sparse...referencing only the most closely knit topics with nothing broader. I use it because I have it, not because it's good (by *any* stretch of the imagination). A miserable excuse for a dump of the equally pathetic on-line help.

5.0 out of 5 stars
I like to keep a "1166-page language reference" next to me..,
By A Customer
This review is from: Microsoft Visual FoxPro: Language Reference (Paperback)
5 STARS (*****)I would recommend this book to your library. Nothing better than having a printed language reference next to you. Online reference is good, but sometimes you just want to bookmark a section and go back to that section from time to time. Microsoft Press had a few flaws here and there, nothing major. I wish so bad Microsoft Press could release a nice printed Language Reference for Visual FoxPro 8. It's just convenient to have that right there when you need it. Get this book if you like a printed reference (like me). Otherwise just use the online reference. My 2 cents...
