>VFP does quite well in remote access, again with the 2 GIG table size limit. Works well as an automation server, however, there could be some potential if there is a requirement for multi-threading as in a heavy access load. It works well hooked to a web app (such as the UT)
I shoulda clarified this a bit. If you're on a WAN, Fox is unbearably slow. Going n-tier is a much better solution. As for the multi-threading under a heavy load, that problem was fixed in SP5.
