Check out what MS had to say in the comparison of VFP 7 to Access (bottom of article) at:
http://www.activevfp.com/dev/qa.asp>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 have a potential client that has one Access app. Their company (users, money data,etc) has increased by over 5 times. 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.

>Confirmation to the above and any other reasons/arguements greatly appreciated.
