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
