>I have been performing some tests accessing both Microsoft Jet databases and VFP 3.0 databases from in VB 5.0. I have seen the Jet/Access databases to be 50% faster at times. Also, when using DAO Dynasets in VB to view query results, I have seen the VB version run 10 times faster than the SELECT in FoxPro. With the ease of development provided by VB 5.0, extreme leanness, and now speed, what place is left for VFP?

Gino,

You have not compared using VFP to access VFP and see what the speed difference is there. Try using VB and Jet to access a database that has tables with millions of records in them, for that matter try to get Jet to hold a database that has tables with millions of records in it.

Yes VB is faster at accessing Jet than it is at accessing VFP data, but then VB is optimized to access Jet as that is VB's "native" database.
