Actually it's a book from a series published for VFP 3.0. The original series was "The Pros Talk FoxPro" With Robert Green doing the one your looking, Steve Sawyer on the Form Designer, Doug Hennig on the data dictionary, and David Frankenbach on OOP. The original books came from Pinnacle and were edited by Whil Hentzen, but they sold out by the time we got to VFP5, but they've been re-released as a collection from M$ Press ISBN 1572312335. Perhaps now they've split them apart again... either way, the Robert Green Special Report on VFP/SQL Srv is good for basics. But the nuts and bolts stuff in that book is somewhat different in VFP 7.

I had the original series at a former job and left them behind. Yet I found them valuable enough to pick up a copy of the M$ Press combined version when I stumbled across it... I still pull it off the shelf when I cant find dbc answers in the hacker guide (Hennig's part) and to double check myself when I feel like I have a moment of OOP brilliance (David's part).
