This issue includes the first of our language articles on FOCUS-to-WebFOCUS integration. The series was conceived in response to viewers' enthusiasm at last year's Summit User Conference over presentations aimed at showing what happens "under the covers" as applications run. Please feel free to suggest related language topics you'd like covered in future issues.

As usual, this issue also includes tips and techniques from our product managers and support teams, as well as up-to-date information about new features and releases that could help maximize your effectiveness with our products.

Enjoy the articles. I welcome your suggestions or questions, which you can send c/o TFC_Editor@ibi.com.
