<i><font color="#663300">I've wanted to use CodeBook for many reasons. From what I see, I can come up with a better looking, more upsizeable application.
The problem is, I've installed it, and tried to follow the documentation, but the dox don't seem to jive with the most current version. Some lines it said to look for while setting up the DE just weren't where the dox said they would be.
I've only used the vfp framework, and feel I'm missing out on something great. Any pointers on how to get up and going with this without losing weeks of my time trying to figure it out?</font></i>
The docs <i>are</i> seriously lacking. That's one of the things we're trying to focus on improving. It's coming along slowly (understatement of the year!), but we'll get there.
To start out, you can always search the archives of this Forum for information, or you can <a href="http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~Topictextsearch~codebook" target="_blank">search the Wiki</a> for codebook-related topics. Many times when someone came across some information or insight which was deemed valuable to others, it was posted on the Wiki so that it could be more easily shared.
We are also beginning to work on a Sample App to help out newcomers to Codebook, and are trying to document this as we go along. Being a volunteer effort, things don't move along at the same rate as they do for paying clients <g>.
