Difficulty in learning of VFP depends on previous Foxpro background (Fox is very old but some old things are still in use).

also background with other related stuff can come handy -like SQL DBMS and OO

>When I started to learn VFP, I just read the manual, and it was perfectly enough. Anyway I am sure that MS Manuals should be the primary source for VFP (and not only VFP) learning.

I think you are the first one to agree with me on this one :)
