Mnay of us use VFP as a front end to Oracle databases. VFP works great as a C/S front-end. First, see my article on VFP and Oracle in the Knowledge Base (Purple book), under Articles, Client/Server. I have listed a MS web site which offers free ODBC drivers to use with VFP to connect to Oracle (do not use Oracle's ODBC drivers).

Secondly, go to www.microsoft.com/vfoxpro for VFP information.

Oracle would have no reason to discuss VFP or MS products.
