>>Given the criticality of performance, is this a case where we might be better off using VB or some client other than VFP? We do have some developers with VB experience, so we can draft one of them onto the project if this is a better choice.

We will definitely do this. Thanks.

P.S. -- We are definitely leaning toward VFP as the client. Our guess is that when it comes to how the client program affects server side performance, it is determined more by the fiddler than the fiddle.
