Hi, Houston.

I hardly ever read anything in these endless threads, but I ended up reading this sentence of yours:

>>>...when making your comparisons between VFP and SQL Server – indeed is this even a reasonable comparison to make?

I think there are things that should never be compared... for example:

DBFs with SQL Server
VFP's Report Engine with Crystal Reports
A Ferrari with an "old" Bettle
Ayrton Senna with Rubens Barrichello
A Brazilian with a Monkey. :)
