Hi Evan,

In VFP, when you delete a record, the record stays in the table. However, in SQL Server, a deleted record is removed and cannot be recalled. Therefore, you wouldn't need to "pack" the tables like in VFP.

>Thinking more outside of the box... the only reason I need unload the COM components, is so that I can do my monthly pack of the VFP tables. If I move from Fox to SQL Server, will I need to do a monthly reindex/pack? Yearly?
