>I have a co-op student that is looking for a good introductory book to coding in VFP. Since I learned from MS manuals, I don't know of any good ones, and as I have very pressing projects i do not have the time to help her as much as I would like.

The Effective Techniques Book by Booth & Sawyer from Hentzenwerke is a great introduction for someone sharp with a little bit of OOP/VFP familiarity.
