I'm trying to learn FoxBASE's template language so I can write a custom application. Do any of you have code libraries or neat FoxCODE functions that you could send me as examples? Thanks a bunch! -- One should drink little ... but often. -- Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

From my experiences in making FoxBASE work in a reasonably Maclike manner, the amount of complex code required would make it virtually impossible to code in FoxCODE, unless you're just trying to string some entry screens together. I'd be very interested to hear if anyone has used FoxCODE for a full Maclike application, including menu support and multiple windows. Andy Dent A.D.
