Your point(s) are well taken..... thanks for the thoughts.

>>Good question - its in 7 tables now, which with indexes is 14 files. I was hoping I could just ship it with one database file for easier installation issues.

>Having a native engine that is flexible as FoxPro's is a much better choice than trying through some sort of interop to get to sqlLite or even Sql Compact is not even a contest in my opinion. Part of the reason you're using VFP I'd hope is BECCAUSE of the native data engine.
