Excellent Book for Beginners Learn Dbase 5.5

This is an excellent book, that taeches using independend and complete programs with uniques details for beginners.

Great Book

This book is better than most because it takes you step by step through the creation of complete programs. After building about half of the programs in the book, I was already writing my own programs. This is a basic book for beginners. After mastering the basics, I found that I was better equipped to participate in on-line discussions to get my more advanced questions answered. The manual that comes with dBASE 7 is almost completely useless, but it becomes a little more understandable after reading this book first.

Solid source of Information

Shows reader a-z on dbase. Highly recommended

A great place to start with Visual DBase

As a newcomer to VisualDBase program, this book was very helpful in a project at work involving updating and revising an old DOS-based DBase application for the Win95 environment. My only complaint is that the authors assume you've bought the compiler as well as VisualDBase 5.5. It would have been helpful to mention in the introduction that you'll probably want to pick up the compiler/professional version of the program if you have any intention of creating applications which are of use on a machine which doesn't have an installed copy of VisualDBase 5.5. Otherwise, the examples were clear and built well upon preceding topics.

Excellent resource for understanding windows dBase programmi

I had programed in dBase for DOS many years back but knew nothing of the windows environment. I looked at many of the books related to Visual dBase 5.5. They delved into creating tables, etc. that I already knew. This book got right down to basics. I loved it. I had spent months digging through other dBase books and found less than I did in this books first week's lessons. Now I'd like an encore
