>>>That's precisely why I asked. I'm looking at migrating my data warehouse backend environment from FPW2.6 to SQL Server, and from all I've heard about the improvements in 7.0, I think I'd rather wait on it too if I don't risk hitting the 2gb limit in Fox before they get it out.

>Whoa.... you don't consider SQL Server a DB backend??? I would keep my backend in Fox if I didnt have to worry about maxing out table size with all the transient data I push through and if it provided better security. And as far as using VB, yes I've been lifted out of my Fox-Only atitude and I have to come to realize a good developer will use the right tool for the job. Now since my jobs that need handled are primarily data intensive, I dont think I'll be implementing a VB front-end any time soon.

I think there are other reasons.....many of them the same old security, etc. Also, VFP backends don't work well with Transaction Server.
