>Yes I agree with you -the big boys will move away from VFP - but you are also saying that the smaller guys will ultimately follow because the hardware will be 64bit? will VFP run on a 64bit processor?

You can still run VFP applications on a 64-bit server but will be in WoW compatibility-mode. We have yet to test the effect on the application's performance when running in this mode. The problem that I see is that, we have to take additional steps to make sure our VFP applications will work.

We already had a problem with the Oracle ODBC driver - where we found out that we had to install the 32-bit version on a 64-bit server for our application to connect to Oracle. I posted that problem here at UT.
