Scott,

>Yes, forms are heavyweight, but I don't anticipate that being an issue because of the way the system is going to be deployed. You never know thought, so we will be doing some stress testing to make sure.

as I am somewhat of a perf seeker, I'd appreciate if you could inform me about the results - vfp is such a moving target when put under stress (include filling the datasets/opening all cursors, as they consume resources as well) combined with bottleneck factors involving LAN/disk throughput and RAM - having more data points is always good to give better hints in the future<g>.
