Hi all,

The following is from:

Until recently, Microsoft offered two means of database management: Microsoft Jet (the Microsoft® Access database engine that is shipped with both Access and Microsoft Visual Studio®) and Microsoft SQL Server™.

This article goes on to discuss the 3rd option for database management (MSDE) and compares the merits of each option to developers can make an *informed* decision about data engines.

This issue has been discussed before...

Visual FoxPro is not even listed as a choice for database management. It seems that any and all momentum for the future of FoxPro must come from the development community, with little or no marketing help from MS.
