If you've have properly utilized the DBC environment in VFP and have used remote views, you will be able to "easily" upsize what you have to SQL Server. Even if you haven't religiously worked your app to use DBCs and Remote Views, you can rework what you have a whole lot easier than starting a new app in VB, which is not a great database environment to begin with. VB started out as a programming language, and now, with just about everyone recognizing the importantance of using databases, is a programming language with a database interface. We know that VFP was, is, and always will be a database programming environment with its own database language and engine. ==Carl
