Hi Cindy, the problem with that article is that not only was it done too many years ago, but it also bases alot of Foxpro's strength on it cross-platform capability which is no longer available. It references the ability to code once (in one source code) for windows, Apple MAC, Sco Unix, and MS DOS. That is something I used to do years ago by referencing the OS in code and coding appropriately, and the capability is missed. However, since that capability no longer exists, it renders the 'strength' of the paper worthless. The paper does not focus on today's strengths of VFP-it's a shame. Perhaps someone will do a comparison chart/document again?



>>Some years ago, showing my age, Microsoft had available on their website, a 'White Paper' that compared and described the advantages of Access, VFP and SQL Server.
>>
>>It basically defined the limits of the table sizes that each application was suited for. I would be very appreciative if someone could tell me if a current version of that 'White Paper' exist and how to download a copy of it. I've searched Microsofts website and have not found any reference to it. Maybe I just don't know where to look or how to define the search critera. TIA.
