C'mon, Steve...many times it's been said (and proven, iirc, by some great devs) that it doesn't push the entire DBF to the client.

C/S is better certainly for designs where you ask for specific data and only that data is returned. I'm with you on that one. However, xBase/VFP doesn't generally suck based on many experiences. Bad design is bad design, be it file server based or client-server. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://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.
