No Problems. I tend to do the same some times.

>Perhaps you can, indeed, have things execute on the server, if you set up VFP as a server and access data through ODBC. I was thinking about the system I currently use, but I am not using SPT, nor am I setting up VFP as a server in a client-server scenario.

We have the database located on our network. All the '.exe' access it through the VFP ODBC. But I think it's too slow. Data retrieval is not done correctly. The querys are tweeked to be as fast as possible. But still I'm not impressed.

There is an ORACLE server here. We will migrate our data to it. This means changing the querys to access that database. I want to take it a step further. The Stored Proc.
