You may not see an increase of speed when moving to SQL Server. VFP is *very* fast.

As for data/index corruption...if you are seeing it frequently, you should look at the network and application design. I have not seen data/index corruption for a long time.

>We want to increase speed and decrease data/index corruption. I'm not saying I would use SQL Server Express immediately, but I want to know what direction to go in. From what I understand, SQL Server Express is just the next version of MSDE. For what kind of application would MSDE suffice and when would I need SQL Server?
