About Carla Fair-Wright
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can answer most general questions regarding Visual FoxPro. I am also very good with WSH, WMI,and FSO scripting and most internet technologies. I like to answer questions. To me there is no such thing as a dumb question. Don't be afraid to ask me anything about FoxPro or Visual FoxPro. I will try to answer all questions as quickly as I can. It may take me a day or longer for a complex error or one that is hard to reproduce. Please include the version of FoxPro you are using.

Experience
My professional experience with computer programming started in my early twenties, I went back to college with thoughts of finishing an engineering degree and ended up in computer science.
I have used Oracle, SQL Server, Access, and FoxPro.
