>>This is why I have gone very heavily into learning SQL Server.
It's stable, it is definately gaining momentum, I think it has
some wonderful features that management will want, and a lot of
the things that I learned with Fox are transferable.<<

We first used SQL Server with VFP in 1995 and I agree it has tremendous good points, though back then it had a few little issues. < g > VFP is a good front end with SQL Server as long as you become accustomed to parameterised views rather than seeks. And despite the knocking, Remote Views are an incredible timesaver for development especially with new improvements such as CONNSTRING in VFP7. Be sure to at least look at RVs before you are seduced to do everything some other way.

Yes, but don't stand in line behind them! < g >

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
