>Sure... how about the fact that
1) no built in security to limit access to data. Excel can open and update VFP tables at your convenience.
2) DBF's can be deleted (or renamed) by anyone who has the appropriate rights on the directory the files are stored in.
3) DBF's can easily be copied to a CD and carried out the door.
>Just a few...

Jim, are you saying that these HUGE security holes cannot easily be addressed by the average VFP developer?
censored.
