I am enrolled in the MSDBA class starting in November and I have some books that have helped me under some of the insides of SQL 7.0. We are discussing what to use as a front end? Do we save much time leaving the front end with the stuff we have now in vf 5.0 as compared to re-writting screens (forms) in vb? If we decide to keep vfp 5.0 as our front end, do you know what are somethings I have to do to the exisitng forms?

Uh-oh, a serious reply in the midst of our chatter :) It might be wise to repost this under a category like Client/Server, maybe...
