>Is this so bizarre?
Nothing bizare about what you said.
Perhaps I have'nt made enough apps with VFP and DBF because things seems to go well... so far.
I just hope phones won't begin to ring just now. You know how it is. One only has to say that things are going well to start going bad <g>
At least you seem to understand my point of view.
So considering everything it's still possible to make reliable apps with DBFs but for those that need an extra client-server is there.
