To further refine my question then. In a multi user, file server/client, windows form type application - with c# winforms on one side, and vfp forms on the other, will performance be noticeably different. This assumes the same table/index structure in both situations. I am at a tipping point, having started an app. in c# that I had previously begun in VFP, where I find that I still have some unanswered questions that could decide going either way. But one thing that I have seen in the past is bad performance in applications that use SQL Server as their back end when compared with VFP.
