Hi Chris,

I moved away from DBF and DBC a long time ago but I don't think it was very difficult to check the registry settings manually.


Yep...same here.  I haven't designed major apps with DBFs since I saw Bob Lee use a MySQL database in New York from his VFP app in Milwaukee years ago at WhilFest.  So many benefits to that design decision.  I always lead by telling folks they're getting the same database as NASA and Google use and they'll never run out of space, that the app will be running long ago they've retired.

IMO, the key to good VFP app design is to use the N-tier approach where you separate the UI/BizObj/DataObj so that you can easily swap out backends or frontends or whatever.  I've loved working on my apps for 15 years because of that good design organization, imo.

Frank provided some good tips, Chris, so I hope they help.
