>Do you know about some book for learning VFP from the programer's point of view? In earlier versions of foxpro, the books I've read allways have two parts: in one they talk everything about the interface (from a user point of view); in the other part they explain how to build programs just by coding instructions. I wonder if there is some book around that explains how to build a program using the interface and then programing just the necessary to customize the application.

You could start by adding a commandbutton to your form and putting the code (stated above) in the click event of it. You could set the cation to "ADD". You will need to refresh the form after the code: ThisForm.Refresh().
This causes the controls on the form to reload, in this case it would make them blank and the cursor would appear in them.
Then you'll need buttons for delete, revert, first, next, etc. to perform operations on the table(s). Check out the code supplied with Tastrade.
Alot of people talk bad about Tastrade, but it offers a great learning experience especially if you haven't used VFP before.
If you're a beginner "Mastering Visual FoxPro" by Siegel is a great place to start. I have about 8 or 9 books on VFP now. It seems every author has a slightly different approach. But to learn VFP, start by learning the basics of manipulating tables through the code window, then advance to learning the controls. Learn the properties, events, and methods of thse controls, and make sure to apply different techniques to them. Good Luck!!!
