John,

Didn't you forget one small detail - that they are workING at adding VFP features to .NET.
In other words it follows that, TODAY, .NET is inferior to VFP from a data handling point of view.

Agreed that it *may* outperform VFP in this arena ONCE IMPLEMENTED IN .NET. But who can say when that will be????
