Well actually, there are many ways to secure data from hackers, but what I am after for is to see that the DBC have its built-in security whether it's installed in a server or stand-alone PC. Because once the DBC/Tables is outside the OS (server/client), it is already vulnerable to hackers. And that's basically the a big hole in VFP's marketing strength, because clients wants security without much intervention on OS.
