>Now, if you were in California, I would say that the PG&E just cut off your power - what they are terming a "rolling blackout". What is a "rolling blackout" you ask? That is when the power company disconnects groups of users and laughs so hard they roll on the floor.

I'd seen on the news about those "rolling blackouts" That's go to be a PITA. Here we got power coming out of our ears. Only problem it's controlled by Hydro Quebec :( They'd rather line their pockets than maintain or upgrade the system. (Hope they don't read that)

>Going to SQL Server or Oracle will make for a more robust system however, these problems still exist. That is why there are Database Administrators to recreate the database when it does a crash and burn. In a good environment I have seen VFP run for years without a problem. In a poor environment I have seen SQL Server and Oracle corrupt data. Nothing is perfect and you will pay a pretty penny to own, develop and use Oracle.

We already have the server. Internal politics & BS have kept us from moving everything to that platform. I'd rather not rant on about that!

Thanks for the info.
Hope they turn the power back on soon ;-)
