Thank you I will follow your advice about the fundamentals and later get the hacker for vfp7.

Thank again all of you for your time.

>I agree with others... VFP7 is the way to go. It's a MUCH better development environment than VFP5.

>The beginner's book you should get is the "Fundamentals" by Whil Hentzen at www.hentzenwerke.com. Hacker's Guide is a reference and will not really teach you how to develop VFP apps.

>>Hi all!

>>I am switching to VFP 5 from FPW26 and I have read somewhere that the Hacker's Guide To Visual Foxpro is a must read.
>>
>>I want to know, since there is no Hacker's Guide to VFP5, should I read the Hacker's Guide to VFP3 or the Hacker's Guide to VFP6?

>>Or should I wait for the vfp7 version?
