>Both Jet and MSDE are not optimized for more than 5 users. Try to develop applications with a few gig in it and about a 10 - 100 users.

No kidding, considering they're both limited to a 2gb database anyways. Keep in mind this is the whole database, not just one table like in VFP.

If it were a single table, it would be easy to get around (using a vertical or horizontal partition thingy) but with the whole Databse, you're really screwed.

MS is the drug dealer of computer applications, the first little bit is for free, then they've got their hooks in ya.
