There are many users groups.  Call Fox to see if there is one in
your area.  We have one associated with the Boston Computer Society.

There is at least one newletter dedicated to Fox.  The one I am
familiar with is FoxTalk.  I think it comes out monthly and is ~$100.
It is quite technical and has a lot of code in it.  I believe they
also send a disk with each issue.

The Compuserve BB is run by Fox.  They monitor it.  I can't recommend
it highly enough.  If you do significant development in Fox products,
it is invaluable.  It will pay for itself many times over.  There is
also a piece of software called TAPCIS which allows you to
significantly reduce your connect time to Compuserve by allowing you
to batch all your downloads and uploads.  You can download the entire
FoxForum, read it, and compose questions and replies all offline.  It
is also possible to mail Compuserve users from the internet:

    mail aaaaa.bbbb@compuserve.com
