I have not heard of any issues running SQL Server Express. I know there were problems getting the prior version, MSDE tp install. One of the main reasons for the new version was to make installation far easier.

I think there are far, far fewer problems with having the data in SQL then in VFP. I had a job for a couple yrs simply because there was a VFP system running on computers in 30 or so countries. And someone had to help with all the data corruption issues.

I would check some SQL Server sites to see what kind of issues are being reported with SQL Express.
