My US$0.02 worth, to add to the good advice the others have given:

If you start work in a company who has their own naming conventions in place, obviously theirs overrides whatever the "most common" pattern is within the "FoxPro community". You've got to be able to write code your co-workers can quickly grasp.

Besides naming conventions, there are other style conventions. Just like in other tools/languages, you usually indent code between the beginning and end of a loop or a conditional (IF...ELSE...ENDIF, DO CASE...CASE...ENDCASE). Putting in comments any time you do anything at all tricky or unorthodox. Especially if you do something which appears to violate some other standard, you want to put in a comment explaining your very good reason for having done it that way...

Also of course what you're comfortable with is important. Write your code so that, if you come back to a program you wrote 2 years ago, you'll be able to understand it!
