Mark,
Thanks! I just got the impression that the non-mention of FoxPro wasn't necessarily a pro-anti-FoxPro position. My guess is that the SQL folks would want to try and do all their work via their known tool, as we do. *g*
And, of course, some of the features in SQL really are superior to FoxPro's. It kind of all depends on what your needs are. If you need speed and aren't too concerned about security you can go the VFP route. If security, replication and large data sets are a big requirement then SQL (or Oracle, Sybase, DB2, etc) should be considered.
Best,
