As I said in the previous post, I don't have the newest version and the 3.01 version has a paltry 4 lines of documentation about one of the fundemental uses of any database system.

Yes I am calling VFP proprietary, The day Bill and his buddies decide that THEY don't want you to use it, it will disappear. That my friend is proprietary.

The day that my desk is completly free of MS Products is a day I will rejoice. Unfortunatly hardware still exists that only works on these crappy OS's MS sells.

I have had the Linux server up for over a year and a half and other than upgrading components it has NEVER been rebooted.

I am now using MySQL for all new development but am stuck with some legacy apps that due to budget constraints can't be migrated to MySQL.
