Bob,

I really only pointed you to Les' article as an academic exercise. You think VFP is as good as SQL server, even if cost is not an issue?

I'm afraid you want to reinvent the wheel :)

>Thanks Steve.. I decided to devote my energies to building a FOxPro File Server rather than try to figure out what is going on behind the sceens between the client and server. This will also give me a lot more flexibility in the applications I build. As for SQL server, call me cheap but I still believe that we have the best database engine going that just needs a better vehicle to run in.
