I've wanted to get information (issues,tips and techniques) on running VFP on LAN environment. Where can I get this from the UT?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Do you mean VFP programs with VFP databases? Or VFP with another database?

VFP is a great language for database development and database access. Its database is file-based which has pros and cons, like everything else. It is very fast, but it is not client server. It works very well on fast LANs. It may not be recommended for WANs. It has very little security and has a file limit of 2GB.

But you can use VFP as great front-end for a SQL-Server, Oracle or other back-end in a client/server or an N-Tier architecture.
