Moving to the VFP9/SQL model would be a moving in a direction which would be easier to migrate to .Net down the road if you need to, especially if you use stored procedures. Either way, you should really move to VFP9, not that painful from 6 and higher.

>Out of interest we still use VFP6 with one app in VFP9 - we dipped our toes in the water with VFP7 and hated it so stayed with VFP6 which does all we want - I am advised however that should I wish to move to a SQL backend I would be well advised to upgrade to VFP9 - what do you think and are the benefits to be gained from moving to SQL worth the hassle when the system is as stable as any constantly developing environment can be?
