Looking at it as a basis for some web development that at the moment converting from strict VFP desktop onto a browser based solution as the desktop solution ships so much data when opening DBF's with their associated indexes.
Just a quick comment that the VFP dbf app I did at Sylvan has the same challenges in its old age. They've got 500MB of data in some centers with 20+ years of data, and for whatever reason, running some reports takes FOREVER on the client machines at their learning centers (where it's just a handful of machines on the local server). Corporate's workaround was to give folks direct server access so they could run it faster on the server. I'm glad I switched to MySQL back in 2004!
