NOW WHAT?

Congratulations! You've just been introduced to one of the most powerful relational database management systems available. You've learned to:

Extract specific data using RQBE.
Create professional reports with the Report Writer.
Design custom screens with the Screen Builder.
Design menus with the Menu Builder.
Create an application.

You can now use the FoxPro power tools to quickly and efficiently manage your data. But this is just the beginning. FoxPro is a dynamic and multifaceted database management system. You can continue your studies and develop your own custom applications that use all of FoxPro's functionality.

The "FoxPro User's Guide" teaches you more about FoxPro's interface, including FoxPro's menus, Report Writer, Label Designer, Screen Builder, Menu Builder, RQBE, and Project Manager.
The "FoxPro Language Reference" contains FoxPro commands, functions, and system memory variables, listed alphabetically for easy access. It includes examples to demonstrate how to use the language.
The "FoxPro Developer's Guide" covers topics of particular interest to those who develop applications. Topics include tips for using projects, screens, menus, SQL SELECT, arrays, low-level file I/O, text merge, FoxDoc, and more.
