Hi Torgny

With due respect to Dave, Jim and Steve's book is not really for 'beginners'. It does assume that you know a fair bit about VFP. For beginners, I would say the best book is:

The Fundamentals
(Building Visual Studio Application on a Visual FoxPro Foundation)
Whil Hentzen
Hentzenwerke Publishing
ISBN 0-96550-935-4

You can find order details through www.hentzenwerke.com or amazon.com
