>After all the openly negative noise for the past year from the "Fox'ers," I'm glad Rod has finally done something to quiet it all down.

Hi
I've downloaded the NET app and I've done something similar in less than half hour (without grid sorting stuff)
,but VFP creates and index faster than net app change order, so I assume this part is instant taking into consideration VFP's persistent indexes.

I've tried with small/medium data sets. Everything was OK.

Then I've tried with all 100k customers and now I'm convinced once again that VFP does data much better.
Loading time : 20 secs (VFP = 1.6 secs)
Memory allocation: 85 MB up to 150 MB after playing with filters (VFP-26MB, MSDE 25MB)
Filters :sometimes quick, sometimes several seconds (VFP - always instant)

So, this sample app convinced me nothing regarding how "cool" data handling is in net apps, on the contrary.
