Hello Bong,
     The best tip I have is run, don't walk, to all of the technically
oriented booksellers in Your neck of the woods, and skim all their Fox
pubs. That will tell you a lot more than we could possibly edify in a
brief message. Keep in mind, if your going from Clip S'87/dB3 up to dBIV
2.0 single user, 95% of your dB Code or Books will Run/Apply directly!
     With that caveat, I know a couple or 3 titles I would like to
mention. The first is small and kind of a cross between the FP Quick
Reference and Commands & Functions (good for Clients who grab the phone
each time they cannot remember a name). It Is called "The Complete FoxPro
2.5 Language Reference" (covers both DOS & Windows versions) from SYBEX
in Alameda, CA by D McClanahan and is only $14(I saw it for $8 recently).
     On the other end of the spectrum is "PC Magazine Programming FoxPro"
2.5 by Miriam Liskin. I think this is the most comprehensive work I have
seen. Experts may not like this one because it has a lot of introductory
level material to skip around. It is 1520 pages and comes with all the
source code from the books examples on a 3.5 diskette and lists for $40.
     A much more advanced title is named "FoxPro 2.6 Codebook" by Y. Alan
Griver. It too includes all the source code on a CD-ROM disk and costs $50.
This is good one to have on your bookshelf because many of the Codebook's
guidelines have become the de facto standard for FoxPro coding practice.
                                                      Happy bookhunting,
                                                      den
