2.0 out of 5 stars Out of date description of FOCUS, December 7, 1998
By A Customer
This version corrisponds to version6 of FOCUS. An early version at that. Many current techniques and functions are not addressed. Unfortunately the only useful books are those made by IBI.

5.0 out of 5 stars Handy, December 17, 1999
By A Customer
I found that this book provided a good overview of Focus and is particulary helpful to someone using Focus for report generation. It was simple and very easy to get started. There were good example throughout book and covered majority of reporting issues.
