With its native data engine, rich object-oriented language, and capabilities to produce COM servers and consumer Web services, Visual FoxPro is the single most flexible programming tool available to software developers. But in today's programming environment, nothing stands alone. This guide will show developers how to extend the scope and power of Visual FoxPro as a development tool by integrating it with other software technologies. This much-anticipated sequel to 1001 Things You Wanted to Know About VFP both expands coverage of topics such as data driving and reporting and introduces new topics such as e-mail, IntelliSense, charts and graphs, PDF technology, MSDE, COM/DCOM, XML/ADO, and designing for extensibility.

Although this book is not a sequel to 1001 Things You Wanted to Know About Visual FoxPro, we did feel it was incumbent upon us to update some things from that book. Either we have found another way of doing something, or Visual FoxPro itself has changed and made things easier. There are also some new things that people have asked us about or that we have found ourselves since we finished work on KiloFox nearly two years ago.
