Or you could put it all on sticky notes and paste it on the monitor <bg>
SQL Express takes a few minutes to install and is a real database. Attaching and detaching databases is really quite simple. Give it a try. If you're moving from Access to C# I don't see where VFP should even play a role.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot

Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
