Interesting perspective Terry. I took 'the biggest' to mean the largest number of records or the largest number or concurrent users.

>I saw what was claimed to be a "big" VFP app. Basically it was a bunch of procedure files whereby the developer copied and pasted sections of code, over and over [and over] again. Sometimes size is necessary. But lack of optimaization (sloppiness or inexperience) can make what is essentially a 30 thousand line program, become a 120,000 line program. Unneccessarily large apps do not help VFP's image - they're sluggish and hard to maintain (required those big teams we hear so much about:-). But - they do allow sloppy coders, who really don't like programming, who would [also] have difficulty getting a job based on their merits, keep their current position and eventually move up to management. When we see a FPW2.6 system [completely] recompiled in VFP, we know one of them sloppy/lazy/uncaring coders from 10 years ago managed to hang on and finally move into management. Doesn't anybody care about the clock anymore?:-) What is a size queen doing writing code?:-)
