Awesome! What your session says sounds like what I've been doing with VFP9/MySQL for the past 4 years...creating a VFP9 rich/smart client app that uses a web database. One of my clients is having me retool an app from 2004 to use this approach. I wouldn't design apps any other way anymore. While VFP backends can kick ass, MySQL is great for my apps and it has the added benefit of running locally (workstation or LAN) (like VFP) but also over the web. I've seen some ideas that suggest that's becoming more possible for VFP but I like the true client/server approach moreso. I'd love to retool FabMate in this fashion (as it still uses the VFP backend) but that's just such an enormous project that I unfortunately don't have to time to do right now. I'm scrambling to pick up any side projects that will pay some bills! (Man, this debt stuff really sucks!) Of course the benefit of Dabo is that it would run on non-Windows platforms too...and with the same code base, iirc.
