Any such move is down the road. My goal now is to learn how to do client-server well and work on making my VFP code as fast as possible.

BTW, if I am running a VFP UI and using views to get the data from a server, does that server have to run SQL (SQL-server, Oracle, DB2, My SQL, etc.) or could it be a VFP database?
