Well, ostensibly to make the CDXs more stable, which in and of itself isn't a bad deal. Yet... If you're going to nudge this little lady into the harsh spotlight of co-existence with SQL then shouldn't you clean out the proverbial closets first?

No they certainly don't. Just to add one more "log to the fire", if I wanted to assure VFP's future, if I wanted to assure growth (and sales), if I wanted to put to rest all of the negativity, then I certainly would go in the direction I've indicated.
