Where can I find a FoxPro 2.6 (or later) or Visual FoxPro 3.0 (or later) Manual?
 
On-line help won't do?

You might try eBay (not likely, but you never know), and if you have a Goodwill store in your area, you might see if they have a computer equipment shop (in Austin, there was a Goodwill shop dedicated to computers, and it had a treasure trove of old books, software, PCs, etc.).

I'm selling my 2.6a FPW complete with disks and manuals opened but not used. I was gonna put them on ebay. check ebay at YOu can find good deals there. I guess you need 16 bit apps to run on dos or win3.11? Otherwise get a more current book on VFP 6 or at least v5. has many good VFP books and Que has a new v6 book out by Jim Booth. Also check by searching 'FoxPro'

I have the 2.6 install set w/ manuals and 2.5 programming guide (Excellent book). I'd love to sell it you but unfortunately it is illegal in the state of VA to resell software (UTICA=BULLSH*T). However you may reinburse me for my shipping costs ;-). Drop me an email...

That is an unbelievable state law. Bet you can't spit on the sidewalk next to your horse on Sundays either!

I have the same question. I'm new to VFP but not to
programming. Did you find a book you'd recommend?
 
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
 
I'll sell a copy of the manuals.
How much would you be willing to pay?
