No, it would make people who don't understand the difference between a product that runs as a file-level application rather than a database-level application, and who don't realize that the cost of deploying security beyond the level of the OS requires added resources and administrative functions. You can already control the granularity of file access at the file level with an OS having that level of granularity like NT or 2K, can protect against direct access by writing COM servers tointervene in application access to the data directly, and still have the option of deploying a more capable server-based product to host and protect data, while still using VFP. It sounds like you don't understand the basic premise TANSTAAFL.
