Sadly lacking, hardly Al. Both the Desktop Alert and the OutlookBar (and most of the other projects) have plenty of examples and the Desktop Alerts has a complete white paper detailing how to use them. The white paper is available on the VFPX site: http://www.codeplex.com/VFPX/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=3534 The OutlookBar download comes with a work-in-progress HTML Help file, and honestly is simple to use. http://www.codeplex.com/VFPX/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=815 Please note that all the work here is done on your behalf for free, based on the developers "free time" as are most open source projects. Better yet, if you think things are lacking, volunteer to help out. The entire site is a Wiki and like all Wikis, is completely open to your contributions. If you are so inclined, come out to Southwest Fox 2007. Several of the project authors and all the VFPX admins will be there. I am very confident that each is willing to chat about their projects and contributions, and are open to your ideas on how they can be improved. I am also giving a session on VFPX and show you how easy it is to implement several of the ongoing projects.
