>I will, however, agree that I don't thing that performance would be an issue. In fact, there are some other things (smaller footprint for one perhaps?) that might be gained.

And how much of this footprint bloat is from backward compatibility?!?!? I would like to start seeing the removal of Foxbase/xBase obsolesence. IMHO, if you can't have converted [or at least started] to new tech by now, why are you using VFP?
