>Hello,
> Some of the developpers in our group suggest to use VB 6 instead of VFP 5 in our next project. Their arguement is VFP has to use its own set of .dll files it effects the speed. We should use VB to develop the frond end and use the VFP data engine. Can anyone tell me is there any good study has been done in comparing these two products? Thanks.

Using simple combination of VB front-end and VFP back-end is a very bad choice. It may easily result in extremely slow data processing. The base reason is that only VFP itself can use Rushmore, and without Rushmore and/or native access, it will be slow.
