We are pleased to announce the release of a revised and updated Tutorial for VPM Enterprise 9.1.

The new VPME 9.1 Tutorial has been updated to reflect all the changes in VPME 9.1. The new Tutorial has been thoroughly tested to make sure that VPME 9.1 users can complete it successfully.

Steve Smith, the principal architect of VPME, has declared: “The new VPME 9.1 Tutorial really covers a lot of material. Users who make a serious commitment to go through the Tutorial will certainly learn what VPME can do for them and how to use it.”

Every VPME 9.1 user should obtain and use this new VPME 9.1 Tutorial. You can download the new VPME 9.1 Tutorial files from the VPME 9.1 Tutorial Downloads page.

Tip: If you have VPME 9.1 version 9.1.12 or earlier, you should replace the Tutorial Help file in the root directory of your VPME installation with the new Tutorial Help file.

The VPME Tutorial will teach you many things, including:

• How to start a VPME application
• How to use the VPME Data Builder
• How to use the VFP Table Designer with VPME
• How to create local and remote views with VPME
• How to use the VPME Form Builders to create simple and complex forms

Note for ProMatrix Partners - Free Tutorial Project Files: The VPME 9.1 Tutorial takes you through the creation of a Visual FoxPro application. We are making the completed Tutorial application project files available to every current ProMatrix Partner later this week. You should still create the application as you progress through the Tutorial, but if you get stuck, you now have an actual Tutorial project to which you can refer for additional help.
