>I'm pretty sure the reason are having a hard time jumping ship from the USS DBF is a comfort-level issue. Having worked with DBF's for YEARS and YEARS, they are very uncomfortable with the notion of moving on to something new that they don't fully understand. It is TOTALLY understandable because I was there once myself. That's why you don't see me lashing back at people when they critize my position or assume I have ulterior motives. My motives are VERY SIMPLE, I just want the VFP community to realize that there is a better data storage platform available for them to use.

Yes, not only that but it can be a LOT of work if you have a big application to move across, and of course the options, client/server? 3-tier? remove views? etc.etc all start coming into the equation.

That's one way of putting it :)
