What if I try a hybrid solution?  The data I'm most concerned about sharing
is our customer file.  We only have about 1500 records in our customer
table.  I'm guessing I would see no appreciable difference between SQL
Server and DBF files for a file so small.  On the other hand, I have 1.2
million records in my transaction table, so it sounds like I want to stick
with a DBF for my transactions.  But, I need relations between my
transaction table and my customer table and (maybe) vice-versa.

How 'bout it?  Will a hybrid solution like this give my the data sharing
and performance features (even with relations between the two methods)?
