I can't recommend a good &quot;Intro&quot; book, but an outstanding reference book is <i>Hacker's Guide to Visual FoxPro 6.0</i> by Granor/Roche, ISBN: 0-96550-936-2.&nbsp;&nbsp;<font color=red>Warning:</font> pricey. <p>Robert Bradley<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href=

I'll 2nd the vote on the VFP6 Hacker's guide.&nbsp;&nbsp;It was written by the 2 editors of FoxPro Advisor magazine I belive.&nbsp;&nbsp;It also comes with a CD full of samples. <p>Victor Anderson<br><a href=mailto:victoranderson2000@imailbox.com>victoranderson2000@imailbox.com</a><br><a href=

Let me just follow up on <i>Hacker's Guide</i> based on one's comment in a different thread.<br><br>It is <font color=red>not</font> a book that teaches you how to use VFP.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you are a 2.6er or a Clipperhead, it will not teach you how to build VFP apps.&nbsp;&nbsp;Do not buy it for this reason, because you will be disappointed.<br><br>Instead, <i>Hacker's Guide</i> is an excellent reference book for people already productive in VFP that reveals many of the quirks, irks, and hidden abilities of the product.&nbsp;&nbsp;It expounds on the on-line help, not replaces it. <p>Robert Bradley<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href=
