Jacob, To be honest, in my opinion the 5.5 and 5.6 version of dBASE is sufficiently different from VdB 7.01 that you will find the books not entirely helpful. I would suggest, instead, that you take advantage of the Internet resources that are available since no VdB 7.01 book exists at this time. Below you will see a link to my site. Go to my dBASE page. Under "TeamB" you will find the name Alan Katz. Go to his site and get his OOP.how and OODML.how documents. Read them to start with. Get his other material and the great number of how documents at Ken Mayer's site next. Read them. Use the InterBase & dBASE Web Ring to visit other sites. There is so much information, that you probably will find you don't need a book. These news groups can fill in the gaps and special things that you want to do. -- Geoff Wass Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia =>=> More dBASE info at http://members.theglobe.com/Geoff_Wass <=<=

But beside OODML and DataModules, VdB 7 shares many things in commun with VdB 5.5: the Table Designer, the Form Designer (with its Property inspector and Field Palette), a similar Navigator, a Command Window, etc. In short, they don't _look_ completely differerent. If you are completely new to VdB, a good book on VdB 5.5 (at half price) will allow you to familiarize yourself with the VdB interface and make you see how easy it is to use VdB. In big cities, you should find books on VdB 5.5 for about 35$ U..S. Here, they are not hard to find. Moreover, DataCal sells some videos on VdB (but I don't know if they are on VdB 5.0 or 5.5) for 30$ U.S. each http://www.datacal.com/catalog.htm Jean-Pierre Martel MGA Communications - Montr๏ฟฝal - Canada
