That's why the argument for Azure hosting is becoming more and more practical.

I agree with Christian and was going to make that point to Sandy - was just curious what version of SQL Server they were using.

If they were using the Enterprise edition of SQL 2012 or greater, there are many significant features in the database engine that are worth tapping into.

So like I said, unless there is a compelling reason to need to stay with Fox tables (and if Azure for hosting isn't an option), I don't agree with an app supporting both Fox tables and SQL tables. That kind of dual support is likely more driven by the developers that anyone else.
