I recommend downloading the VFP9 refresh, it has a few updates to apps. You can get it from here. In particular the anchor editor builder is a welcome addition. Once you’ve downloaded and installed, run up VFP9 and then DO the following: DO HOME() + ‘wizards\anchoreditor.app’ Now go into a form or container and the builder is available to help you set the anchor property on...
I used to use CrazyBrowser, now I use Maxthon.
An IE wrapper it supports tabbed windows, google toolbar and mouse gestures.
Ooopsie, I think I offended a few people last night. If you know me, you know I like to think things through so that I am satisfied with my position on a topic. To feel comfortable about a position I’ll often argue the opposite with someone so that they can basically convince me of the position I actually hold.

Down under we all call Rick ‘The Man’ because whoever I talk to – if they were having a VFP/...
If yu are using the new anchors and resizing tools in VFP9 then check out Castro’s presentation from SVFPUG last month. There’s a demo form in the zip file, but the real kicker was the tables in his presentation. Trying to work out the number combinations in the VFP9 help file requires a doctorate (OK its still in beta), but Castro’s table makes it simple. Go into the classes...
Here’s a quick presentation by Scott Woodgate who I saw at TechEd 2004 a couple of times.
Don’t be put off by the casual chatty intro, after 21 seconds it goes to a demonstration in Visual Studio which is very hands on. Roughly 10 minutes, it explains how to include a WSE 2.0 web service in BizTalk 2004.
