Just as a side note.

You can have a real Cilent/Server with VFP database if you use DCOM on the LAN, or idea of FoxPro Server. I consider here only some properties of the Client/Server model - ability to get the requests from remote PC, perform all queries and data manipulations on the server and return only the small result set, when nothing else is going over the network. I set aside here the data access and security features of the Client/Server.
Of course, it may not be the viable solution for some particulary application needs, but there are the cases when you might consider it.
As I mentioned in another thread (Benchmarks for VFP versus SQL Server Thread#485384 Message#486533), I just created such a client-server solution for big FoxPro 2.5 DOS application where the new functionality requred to query and calculate the data from 50-100 million records FoxPro 2.5 datastore about 10 GB in size.
This gives you all power of FoxPro data manipulation language for the LAN application with practically no network traffic.
