If staying with dbf's I would implement *local* dbc's and create local views of date-delimited data from the remote tables - hope that makes sense! This is also a good first step to moving to a remote rdms - you just change the local views in the dbc.
Yep. I never used dbfs directly in my apps; I always created local views and/or cursors using an approach like Charlie Coleman showed us years ago at Central PA VFP Users Group and/or using Paul McNett's MakeUpdatable.prg (http://leafe.com/download/makeupdatable.prg).
