I would assume that they are talking about the database since there isn't much to the languge of SQL Server. Let them spend the money on SQL Server and use it as the backend to your VFP app. I think that is the best of both worlds. You would have a fast local database application for look up tables and other data entry and manipluations. Then a "robust" server for the data.

Do they have a DBA?

>I have a Visual Foxpro application that a department in a corporation wants to use. However, the IT department is telling them that they don't want the FoxPro app in their environment. Here is one of their statements: "Many of these vertical market type apps have a single user or low-end version built on something like FoxPro or Access. We prefer a more robust, enterprise type version built on something like SQL Server." Is there really something to this - is Foxpro that much less "robust"? Are you all designing for enterprise environments - are there some examples I can point to?
