About this Article:

Wouldn't it be nice if, instead of having to grapple with unfamiliar field names, table aliases and relational operators, users could query your databases in everyday English? Part 1 of this article showed you you how to use Microsoft English Query (EQ) to create a semantic model for your database. This portion of the article shows you how to create a VFP form that lets users enter queries in plain English and view the results.
