>Since in the list of the new things of vfp 6.0, i didn't see any of my must list i decided to post the following:
> It is very difficult to be convinced, that the client server model could ever replace a file server model as VFP implements it, in cases such as single user desktop database applications, small to medium or departmental db applications, or generally applications that need quick access to data files in a lookup/navigational manner (i.e. point of sales, customer identification e.t.c.)
>I also must admit it is difficult if impossible to imagine VFP as a replacement of a robust DBMS.
>What I would expect, is a means so we can implement a secure database, the ability to build a mission critical application for the small to medium business market, but at the same time keeping the flexibility of the navigational character of a file server system. The number of the users and many times the character of the business of some shops do not imply (in the contrary) the need for a c/s system, but at the same time these shops demand speed, accuracy, security, or respect of the mission-critical character of their business.
For any wish list, you may post them in the Knowledge Base section under Wish List. Otherwise, they won't be fowarded to Microsoft.
