Its just too bad, that fox, can be put together with sql tighter, like oracle200 or systembuilder.

Fox is where its roots are, in the small- to medium size enviorment, and sure you can use it quite well as a middle tier, or even a front end (does that nicley) .... But its not part of a larger package. and its not as feature rich as sql server.... it is what it is. A great tool for the business enviorment, which is sort of easy to program in, can get quick results.. I guess we just want more.... I Know I do.


why not Visualfoxfont - VisualfoxServer, and VisualFoxEnterprise (the whole thing) tightly wrapped. Complete with a application server, and a database server, all written in OOP... Oh well I can dream cant I ?
