You might want to check out Advantage Database. I don't know too much about it but it uses dbf's. One caveat ... I just started with a client that is using it (they are converting to Oracle). After 3-4 months of trying to fix the problem, the company that makes Advantage Database couldn't make it run with ADO on a IIS version 4 server. (The company had to go back to IIS version 3.) I guess that is part of the problem with going with small companies when it comes to high technology.


>>That doesn't make it client/server, though. To have a client/server system you need to have software running on the server that controls access to the database.

>P.S. The VFP ODBC driver is very limited. The interpreter embedded in it is not the standard VFP interpreter and the data engine does not optimize like VFP. "SELECT max(column) from table into array la", where column is indexed and table has 300,000 rows, takes miliseconds on VFP and over 10 minutes in VFP ODBC. Apparently only the where clause is optimizable.
