I have to learn Dbase III in the next two/three weeks. A possible employment opportunity has made me decide to learn DBase, including programming, but I have to do it in the next couple of weeks? A couple of question: 1. Is this possible? 2. Can you suggest books/tools that might help me accomplish this? Any help would be appreciated....

Plenty of self-paced exercises, with a course material which assumes NOTHING, so you can zip through until you reach unfamiliar material, then slow down. The manual is written by James A. Senn of Georgia State University, (James, if you're reading this, thank you!) and will stay on my book shelf for a LONG time. The package cost about $50 locally, and contained SIX 3.5dsdd's. It's published by Addison-Wesley Publishing Co., and comes in three formats: TYPE ISBN User's Manual only 0-201-90706-2 5 1/4" disk format 0-201-50553-3 3 1/2" disk format 0-201-50700-5 I've been pleased with the "Student Edition of..." series overall, so you might give them a try.
