Exactly!!! The major problem with users though is conveying to them the benefits of an app written in VFP over Access. ie speed, robustness, feature, etc, etc. A lot of users ASSume that since M$ includes Access in Office that it must be the best choice. Generally speaking, if a user want to "develop" there own simple screens, reports. etc. -- use Access. If the user wants you to develop a system for them -- use VFP. And if they want access to files they've already created in Access -- ODBC. Been there -- debated that.
