What has been done here is a VFP COM object that a C# solution uses to access the VFP data.
Since the data is still accessed by an actual 20+ year old code base from Clipper moved in to VFP, it isn't multi-user friendly all the time. So accessing the data with ADO and ODBC has caused index or memo corruption for us. There's always multiple ways to get something accomplished. May your adventure be fun puzzle solving!

So I guess creating a VFP/EAN stack 😉 Not sure how tall these stacks can be before they topple over. I'm not sure how good the existing ODBC addons are, I've had results but mixed. Our reason behind all of this is it would allow our existing established desktop applications to remain, and any work we do of this nature to be an extension. Thanks everyone for the discussion around this its all good food for thought.

I suggest learning what the rest of the world embraces today. There are so many combinations to choose from.
