>1. If you can justify the cost to buy Stonefield database toolkit you should do it. Stonefield has not solved all of our problems but for anything but the most complex applications it will make database updates a breeze.

>4. Did I say to consider StoneField. It will probably solve your problem in 2 hours and you can work on all the other stuff you need to worry about. Stonefield also includes full source code you can learn alot from.

>On another note. While your are at it you should probably look at getting Codebook by Flash Management. Stonefield is build to integrate smoothly with Codebook and between the two make a great developers toolkit. For the $40 or so the book costs you will learn more about VFP than any thing else out there. Even if you don't use the framework for your actual applications understanding it will give you insight to VFP and how to build true object oriented business applications.

Why do I get the feeling you own stock in these companies? :)
