>I don't want to say that it's impossible, but it's not MS Access, and even there end-users may create genuine havoc adding something to workable application. Basically, the cheapest solution for end-user would be buying copy of Visual Foxpro with all designers ahd other stuff for $279.

Still, I remember the early press material for VFP3 (while it was in Beta) stated that this is exactly what is extremely good side of VFP, that a division can run a subclassed version of a department-level form class, even adding extra fields to it etc. Knowing Fox from its previous incarnations, I seriously doubted the feasibility of this, short of having a full-blown instalation of VFP IDE _and_ a programmer per site available.

Maybe this press material is still dangling around somewhere. I've read it in May 95.
