I have to disagree. If the Linux box is used as a server and is allowing file access to DOS/Windows based files, then VFP apps can be installed on the Linux server and run from it.

It's no different than putting a VFP .EXE on an NT server and launching it from the [NT] network drive. The VFP application will always run on the client, whether it was launched from a local drive or a network drive (NT or Linux).
