I use database tables for most purposes. There are just too many features which are not available with free tables, especially:
Long field names
Transactions (in VFP 6; I think this has changed in some later version)
Triggers
Referential integrity, which depends on triggers
Especially the last one is important - I simply can not imagine working without referential integrity.
