About this Article:

As a developer for a dynamic manufacturing company, I try to make system maintenance as quick and painless as possible. We recently rewrote our manufacturing system (originally written in FoxPro for DOS) in Visual FoxPro.

Chad Lemmer is a full time I.S. Programmer/Analyst at Wausau Coated Products in Wausau, Wisconsin. He specializes in Visual FoxPro application development. Chad also develops Visual FoxPro applications for the clients of his own consulting business. clemmer@dwave.net.
