To add to what John and Erik have already mentioned, the major leap to OOP occurred with the release of VFP 3.0, and while VFP 5.0 and 6.0 have added many welcome improvements and new features, much of the basic stuff you'll find in any book about 3.0 will still apply to 5.0 and 6.0. Some of the best books written when 3.0 was current include:
Visual FoxPro 3 Unleashed, by Bazian, Booth, Long and Norman
Programming Visual FoxPro 3.0, by Whil Hentzen
Hacker's Guide to Visual FoxPro 3.0, by Granor and Roche
Another good one, which was written for VFP 5.0, is
Visual FoxPro 5 Enterprise Development, by Paddock, Talmage, and Petersen.

>Hello:
>I have Visual Studio 6.0 and have been using VB & VC++. I thought would learn FoxPro. I bought MS's VFP 6.0 programmer's guide & QUE's Special Edition Using VFP 6. I also have a database design & an SQL book on the way. I think the book writers think by the time we got to version 6 everyone knows VFP inside out. I would like to find a very basic book to start but it sounds like these are all for previous versions. Would it be causing problems for me to use an older book? Anyone have any ideas on abook that would help me with the structure of the program, which files have code and in what order various functions go.
