The use of the applications matters. We have several applications here that are in VFP. Data is on the server, on a user machine, and split between a server and a local machine. All using the same exe. VFP gives us portability of the data and an unlimited number of people we can install our application on. Seems Oracle has there hand out for some cost every time you turn around.
