>An enterprise solution with a number of different front-ends

Where is VFP's advantage here? Heavy footprint on the client, marginal support for ActiveX Controls. Best to go with IE or VB here.

>serious transaction load,

I don't think you will want to trot VFP out here. I gather you are aware of
the concurrency issues with VFP with regard to MTS. VB wins here again.

What does this have to do with the langauge???

>monster database or databases with dozens of tables....etc etc.

OK, pick your database, SQL/Server, Oracle, even VFP DBF's.


How does all of this correlate to VFP? And more specfically, how does this really define serious data processing?
