I'm rather in the same boat, though I've been using VFP for a year now so I'm not really new anymore.
I do like the Hacker's Guide to Visual FoxPro 6.0 from Hentzenwerke Publishing. Still it assumes you know FoxPro, so it's a bit intimidating at first.
I did pick up a copy of the QUE "Using Visual FoxPro 3" at a thrift store recently for $1 and I'm learning quite a bit from it, even though I have to check the help files, hackers guide, etc to find out what's been improved since it was written. --Dave D
