In other words, just because you are planning on compiling all of your code into a single app and working with VFP tables, that doesn't mean that you can't use an n-Tier methodology when designing the app. An example of a "Physical" n-Tier deployment would be having the business logic in a DLL on another machine, and putting the data in SQL Server on yet another machine.

Thanks for that, I'm actually trying to convert a current app into logical n-tier in that case, glad there's a term for it.
