>Any one know what database/table would be best to use with Visual Basic. I've considered Access & FoxPro. I'm not so sure if Access can handle large database transactions. I prefer to FoxPro especially since it comes with the Studio package. I also prefer to use ADO technology to access the file... my only problem is with the ODBC drivers. They do not support alot of crucial database features which I desparately need (ie. Index & Seek). I have a transaction file which increases by 100,000 records per month. Opening this file as a recordset takes 13-15 seconds depending on the machine.

With these specs, I suggest you go to a bigger database. If you don't want to pay for licences, you can use MSDE (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/msde/) which is the same engine as MS SQL Server.
