But Windows users are demanding more - integration with other applications such as the Microsoft Office suite - Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. Visual FoxPro can be used to automate - either visually or behind the scenes - any task or process that you could do manually in Office - plus much more. In Microsoft Office Automation with Visual FoxPro, you'll learn how to create powerful applications that span the entire Office suite, using Visual FoxPro in the driver's seat. Granor and Martin have used Office Automation to perform a wide variety of complex, rigorous Automation tasks, including the assembly and production of the enormous Hacker's Guide to Visual FoxPro and large parts of the JFAST output modules used to brief the Joint Chiefs of Staff Notes Includes index Print version record SUBJECT Visual FoxPro for Windows. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n95047852 Microsoft Office. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n94101591 Microsoft Office fast Visual FoxPro for Windows fast Subject Application software -- Development.
