>To clarify, I am part of the team that has written what is arguably the biggest Fox app in the world: 800 users, almost 200gb growing at 20gb a month. Still, Fox may not be the right tool for you. Or, it might be. It depends on the type of app and other issues..

Hi John,

Just out of curiosity, is this the same EuroTunnel app that Val Matison worked on a couple of years back? I believe it processes the kind of data volume you mentioned, but I dunno about his user count.

Couple of years I wrote a VFP 5 app for a call center that tracks customer contacts and interfaces with a Unix based Mosaix automated telephone dialer. Not nearly the amount of data you're talking about (this app's data grows about 5 gigs a year), but slightly more users, around 1000.

I attended a Fox users meeting here in Halifax one year when Val was down from Toronto to speak about that Chunnel app. Thought it was quite fascinating.
Phil
