>>A while ago I came across an article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base which described the features and benefits of all of their development tools.

The article in the KB is good. Just to add a little, I used to teach Access and I'd consider it a desktop database. Someone creates either a small database for local stuff, or downloads a subset from a larger database to work with. VFP certainly has more power and far greater flexibility when it comes to processing.
