What is the data size that your dealing with? In all honesty are you going to have the db do anything past you past make a backup? This is the real question on which one to run with. If you are going to do EVERYTHING with vfp it doesn't matter one stinking bit which one you pick. I see that a .NET tie in is a request, so getting a great connection layer to that engine you choose should be important. VFP will just run in the ODBC connection at best.
