>Is it OK to use NT Workstation as a dedicated server for small groups (less than 5) of users running an accounting program written in VFP5?


The only disadvantage to Workstation in this situation is that it is designed to serve itself before it serves network requests...where Server works the other way...I have also heard that screen savers become the foreground application (Control Panel, System, Performance Tab to adjust (set to None for server)) so I would not use a screen saver on the server...of course, this is heresay...I haven't verified the information myself...

Also, as has been previously noted, to switch from Workstation to Server in the future would be relatively painless.
