I disagree with that position. I've had multi-user apps with maybe 25-50 users using VFP DBC/DBF with local views and it worked great. I'd love to see what was causing your experience to be contrary to mine. A/V software perhaps getting in the way? _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
