And yet another impressive blog on Visual FoxPro starts up. Nice one Bernardhttp://weblogs.foxite.com/bernardbout/ One cool thing that many people don’t know about is that you can do a Save as class… on many objects. Bernard’s post has a perfect example of this in action. Bernard sent me some screen shots of some really cool FoxPro applications he has built...
