>It's been quite a while since I looked at Access and was hoping for some insight as to whether the old VFP is better than Access arguements hold up. i.e. Access more for smaller apps, VFP handles data faster and larger amounts, Access performance drops off as users and/or data size increases, etc.

I am suggesting future development be VFP or VFP/SQLServer based, which could access the existing Access data if needed, but they hope to continue with Access because they already have an app in Access.

Don't lose your time to persuade them in advantages of VFP & SQL.
If they feel comfortable with Access you will not change their mind.
I have similar customers. I loose a lot of time to explain advantages of VFP, but 3 years later they continue to work with apps done with Access.
I have customer from Boston who run Access with SQL Server, two years I make attempts to push him to VFP without success.
