>>My company just get a project that required to build a client server application with VB as Front End and VFP as Backend.

VFP is a file server database, if you want client server you'll have to switch to SQL Server. However, if your all your users are on a high speed LAN than VFP data is OK. If your connected via WAN, VFP data is not a good choice unless you have a VFP COM server located on the same machine to run the queries in the server's process. I call this a "poor man's SQL Server".

Using VB as a front end is only going to make things more difficult than necessary. Why do you think it would be better to use VB on front end?
