to the thread on threshholds some comment and/or experience regarding the non-business WinOS 'family'?

I left that message of yours alone in hopes that you can UPDATE it.

That reply itself is great! But I was also (really) after Win9x/WinME information because the "windows networking" in those OSs **is** used with apparent success with VFP apps.
I could not locate information as regards design intention/limits for those, blaming entirely myself for search incompetence.
My hope was, and is, to show that, while those OSs may let VFP work for a few users, it would be for no more than N PCs and would would have other limits, probably as regards TRANSACTIONs and as regards amount of buffered updates and the like. Being able to point to something authoritative might deter people from trying to do too much with those OSs and VFP or any other 'database' software.

thanks for what you've said, regardless.
