Before anyone else calls me on this, I'm going to call myself on it.

I didn't mean to imply that SBT (which I erroneously abbreviated STB) would lie about the results of their tests. However, if you run an experiment hoping to achieve certain results, you're probably more likely to get the results you want than if you run it just for the sake of knowing the answer.

I once tried running a FoxPro application over a 56K leased line connection. This is totally impractical. I'd love to hear from anyone who's running FoxPro over a WAN and is satisfied with the performance.

>>A couple of months ago I attended a class at SBT Accounting (a large software company using Foxpro) were the class was told that they (SBT) had used a sniffer to compare C/S and foxpro net traffic and they discovered that C/S reduces traffic by (at best) 10% and only if the program is using very large databases. I don't have more information but I bet SBT can be contacted.
