>I agree with you that C# is easy enough to learn for a Foxer. I don't agree that NET allows you to work with larger databases. We began using SQL Server with Fox even before VFP was released in 1995.

I guess I wasn't clear. SQL Server allows you to work with much larger databases than native VFP. I also switched to SQL as the back end for my VFP apps in the late 90's and never looked back.

>IMHO the main Fox claim to fame was its local indexed "cursors" that span automatically to disk, meaning you can do anything you like locally without overwhelming local resources to bring the machine to its knees. It was fashionable to scoff at this concept for most of the last 7 years but people are coming back to it. Perhaps NET will get this ability soon- or perhaps some better way will be invented as mobile devices with no hard drive and unpredictable connectivity come to dominate the front end.
