My current scenario is VFP on the workstations and VFP DBC and tables on
a data file server. This works great. I have Stonefield, but have not
had to use it at all. There is only one file that has become corrupt
and it is a transactional file and that is even rare. I just copy over
a good version and we're on our way.
For this scenario I guess I don't really need to change things, but I
was looking at SQLite as an alternative. I will experiment with this
anyway.
