Which is "better?"  Using Visual BASIC for Windows and
Data Access to develop a multiuser client-server application,
or using Foxpro and compiling?

Does it make sense to use VB/WIN for the client side (front-end),
and use Fox as the backing store/backend/RDBMS?  And does this
even work?

"Better" attributes might include:  faster access, easier to develop,
easier to test (more debugging support), produces .EXE files,
and other similar qualities.

Thanks for any and all (educated) advice!
