I actually raised the same question to one my local colleague whom I assume technically knowleable in VFP/VB/SQL Server combination. His answer is that use VFP/SQL Server if it is a 2-tier C/S which we do. Use VB/SQL Server if is n-tier C/S. He summed it up that VFP seems to have a lot of intermetent errors which are not being addressed by the VFP team which he did not specify it me. We have sooner plans to move on n-tier environment but you already know that I am irritated with VB. When I discussed the issue to the top management and at the same to take a look on Delphi, they give to me the full responsibility of which tool to use. Maybe I am just unfair with VB. If VFP is good enough on an n-tier environment why not? Would you suggest it?
