>I see Evan already gave a good reply :) What you're talking about isn't a limiting factor for vfp per se, AFAIK, that sort of thing is just server limitation. You can get an overload with any server at some point...You've tried to access a hot new download from MS at peak hours? :)

That's what I thought. Thanks for the enlightenment.

So to go back to the question Eric asked. VFP can support any number of users. The problems arise when the server holding the data falters under the load. Is that correct?
