>Is client/server beneficial beyond data security issues for few, 8 or less, users? I read something lately that said vfp downloads all of a table's records regarless of the SQL where as client/server does not. Also, is Fast Ethernet much of an advantage over 10 mbs Ethernet in small multi users environments? The hardware and cabling cost is not much more but if its a waste that would be good to know. Thanks

VFP does not download whole tables as long as you do not force it, and normally you should not. Well-tuned VFP application is still as fast as client-server, and realistically should show faster performance in small LAN environment.
Sorry, I do not know much about Ethernet specifics.
