>Mike, your last question, "Can you prove that the threat does not exist?" is essentially impossible to answer as you are asking John to prove a negative.

He did say that the threat does not exist in his previous post. He should be able to defend why it wouldn't be a threat.

>Your point about the expense of SQL is well taken but I could counter that with the general lack of knowledge on how best to develop a VFP application - particularly with only the OLE DB driver.

Wether or not this will lead to materialzation of enough resources for developers trying this is hard for me to predict.
