I have a nine year old application that uses 14 freestanding .dbf files. There has never been a problem with file integrity over the years among any of the 7,000+ users. I am now in the process of redoing the UI and updating to VFP 9.

Ignorance may be bliss as I blithely stroll down the tracks, hand in hand with my free standing .dbf files, deaf to the rumble of the train a few yards behind me. Can anyone give me a really (really, really) compelling reason to switch to the newer super duper .dbc database?

Thanks,
Scott
