>Anybody have experience (good or bad) with running multi-user VFP apps using Windows 95's built-in networking?

I have several clients that use small databases using peer-to-peer with only a few issues.

Performance is a good as the "serving" peer and the network topology allows.
With 100mb networks and PII systems so cheap through put should not be an problem.

The area of most consern is table corruption. I find that because of the nature of peer-to-peer, i.e., using the workstation as a "server", if anything happens that hangs the "server", with other stations accessing tables on the "server", pop goes the table header.

If the application has high traffic, is large or is the company's life blood, put it on a didicated server. They can still use peer-to-peer to connect to the server.

I sell Compaq Servers that start at $1,500.
