If I'm understanding your reply, I defiantly need a Database Server.

I've done a little research and have a better understand of 
Client/Server, Database Servers and SQL.  SQL is the database/file 
format that is setup with the database server along with of other things 
as far as configuration goes.  I also know now that I could use VDB as 
the front end or VDB SQL or any language that includes SQL commands.
It seems like the perfect solution and like a better way to setup/write 
most database application that would be ran on a Network.

Now I wonder how hard is it to set up the database server.
How hard will it be to convert my current code to use SQL or should I 
say understand SQL command syntax.

Yes 64mbs was not what I meant!<g> 64k is correct.

Thanks very much for your help.
Greg
