>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.

Hi Mike,
It doesn't matter what clding language you will use for Front or web-end if your back-end is SQLServer. We have application which Web-end is done with ASP.Net/C# and front-end is VFP8.0
