>>I agree VFP will not take advantage of multiple processors, it also will not take advantage of a single processor. It is up to us as developers to leverage the many different ways that VFP can do something so that our solutions take advantage of single, multiple; processors, disks, servers, etc.

VFP’s thread management or lack thereof is hardly germane to the query at hand.

If I have four VFP processes running on four CPU's I will get much better throughput, than four processes running on one CPU. If you choose to limit your perspective to threads, then that is your prerogative.
