>Hi all,

>The network admin of one of my clients decided to buy a new server with Windows Server 2016 and now I have to port over my VFP 9 application hitting a SQL Server Express 8 R2 database (can't convince him that both should be separate!). I saw that they had SQL Server 2012 on this new server, so I'm thinking I just might use SQL Server 2012, are there any issues with VFP 9 and SQL server 2012? or is it possible to install SQL Server 2008 r2 Express on Windows Server 2016?

I have used SQL 2008 R2 up to SQL 2016 and no issues with VFP. In fact since SQL 2012 performance has improved.
