Fox always has been and will be for a while the fastest database
engine...

Database corruption in Access is a misfortune that very rarely can be
corrected. Fox is flexible enough to allow you to copy data somewhere
else before you completely lose access to it. If worse come worse, -
there is always a shareware FixIt for DBF tables.

Also, Fox allows you to have loose tables, free tables as they call them
now...

Fox's memo fields are more reliable than those of Access...

...But...Access is part of MS Office. Did you see Office 95 package???
I got a copy (illegal :) and played with. Man, it's awsome!!! VB melts
into it so gracefully, that I got carried away playing with the entire
thing like a little kid :)
Some things are better be left unknown...NOT!!!
