As everyone else has indicated, the best learning tool would be a time machine. At our Museum of dusty books, we've got nearly every book written since 3.0 (we had to toss the early ones), but Cathy Pountney's Report book is the most dog-eared. Hackfox, as a CHM, is a daily tool, but it requires you to know what it is you want to look up, so it's more of a reference than a tutorial. The Fundamentals were one of the few books with the premise of teaching novices, so that one, surely. All the books are worthwhile, depending on what you're doing, but too much to take on at once. VFP documentation has Solution Samples and Foundation Classes worth learning from. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cacw6n4vbktfstz1n9k2conjcdr-nsxzsn0orek+mge-tllw...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
