>Michel, thank you for your suggestion. Actually, this example doesn't constitute 'case study', it's just brief illustration how powerful VFP system can be for data-intensive situation. I have co-worker here, who wrote VB-SQL Server system for another dept, and we used to run similar queries against similar amount of data, and our VFP was always on top :), and he is really good VB-SQL programmer (btw when we met first time he was sure that foxpro is some obsolete ancient tool).

Yes, I get the same feedback from many VB developers about Visual FoxPro. And, don't tell them VB is object based. ;) In a current project, we have to do an application in VB and we need to make everything object oriented. Yes, we faced some walls since a few weeks because it's not OOP. :)
