MORE INFORMATION
================

This information can be used for preliminary research. In many cases, the answer
may already be posted as a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) article or posted
answer. E-mail addresses and newsgroup names are included in the search
results.

The Deja News tool can be useful in almost any research project and allows you to
search multiple newsgroups simultaneously for key words. The returned items are
first displayed by confidence of search query and the entire thread is available
to view. Search results may also be viewed by subject, forum, date, or author by
selecting "view results in list format." It is possible to view other postings
by author. Look for your favorite posting authors and see what else they have
written on the subject. E-mail can also be sent from within the tool to those
who have posted information on the issue.

One advantage is that the search tool is not limited to Visual FoxPro or any one
Visual Studio product. It can be used to look for issues with FoxPro or subjects
related to a FoxPro issue. Examples are API, ODBC, SourceSafe, Visual Basic, NT,
Windows 98, Oracle, and Novell. This gives you a single place to look at
postings from hundreds of newsgroups on computer-related issue.

Deja News is a resource for finding people with similar interests and getting
answers to all sorts of questions. You can find discussion forums on any topic
imaginable, and search messages dating back more than two years. Because they
use advanced technology to filter "spam" from their database, you'll get
relevant search results quickly and easily.
