>Question: Short of investing in books which I may not use for a while, is there some way I can familiarize myself with VFP? Right now, I can get in and wander around, but I'm reluctant to do anything really strenuous for fear I might "blow something up," as one of our users puts it.

But you *are* going to blow something up, might as well make the best of it. Take it from someone that has had to climb out of more blast craters than he cares to admit, the best you can do is limit the damage and learn from your mistakes.
