Will be following this thread with great interest Mike. I've been thinking about doing just that also.
I've looked into FoxInCloud as well, but there were lots of changes I had to make to the system to get it FoxInCloud ready and I don't have time to do that. Now if only there was a service where I could upload the project and someone from FoxInCloud could do that for me....

Here's what might be a crazy idea... Instead of using a local Windows or Linux box as a file server for DBF files... What if someone were to set up a Windows share drive from a Cloud drive service...like Rackspace offers? Would that file share source be a) acceptable to Foxpro for file locks, buffers, etc b) prone to index corruption c) speedy enough to serve the purpose? I'm thinking of a situation where multiple distant locations need to access the same files, with mostly reading but some updating. Anyone doing that? Anyone aware of a reason it would be a bad idea? I guess the main point would be the speed of the Internet connection...
