I think that the time and effort that would take to savage an application written in filePro would be better invested in a more robust technology. If you are going to use filePro, use it for what it has to offer, not because what you wish it did or what you hope it did.<br>
<br></div>This particular application, I use PHP + MySQL. I am not using any framework thus avoiding having to deal with hacks, vulnerability, deprecated code, bloated code, etc. Not going any where so not under time pressure ... Do not care much for the point, click, drag and drop solutions where nothing ever tides up as it should, and end up with a super large script to handle 3 or 4 input fields.<br>

</div>Oh my God...I don't! The ODBC cursor alone is enough to put me off the<br>
idea. The ODBC cursor was the single biggest PITA when I had to work with<br>
MSSQL. Anyone that willingly deals with it is surely a masochist.<br>
