>Am I behind the times? Has this been discussed elsewhere? Anyway, I was alerted to an article in EWeek entitled "Why OpenOffice.org 2.0 Is Your Best Choice"

>I found this quote interesting:
>
>"I haven't been a big fan of personal database programs for a long time now. The only one out there these days that I care for at all is Microsoft's Visual FoxPro. Yes, I can say good things about Microsoft products—when they really are good.
>
>That said, OpenOffice.org's Base Java-based HSQLDB database engine is a solid database. Its real selling point to me is that it has both good SQL and JDBC (Java Database Connect) support. In short, while I still look to FoxPro for PC-based databases, I can see using OpenOffice.org 2.0 to model a serious, server-based DBMS. The idea of even attempting that same job with Microsoft Access makes me ill."

>Yet another acknowledgement that VFP is a great tool.
