Hi Ken,
I am in my 4th year living in Las Vegas. There is a local microbrewery here
called sin city beers. They have a bar in the Venetian hotel and Planet
Hollywood. I am at one of them almost daily. The girls and beer are very
good. If you are in Las Vegas, let me know and I'll buy you a beer
Guess which beer "...tastes like green Froot Loops soaked in thigh sweat."
http://deadspin.com/36-cheap-american-beers-ranked-638820035
It is "virtual Friday" in the USA, so I am getting ready to have "not one
of these."
Cheers, USAians. Happy Independence Day.

The NAS is "practice" for getting this stuff off-site altogether. I have
nightmares about losing all the work and time I've put into my photographic
work. I currently have a 2 stage, nightly backup. One copy to a portable
drive that I take with me on vacations and a second to the NAS.

Thanks for the input At this point I am still awaiting input from the

Hi Desmond,
There are known issues with file based databases like VFP with Windows from
Vista forward. (Well technically I've seen Vista & & referenced but have no
reason to believe that 8 isn't also affected.) I suggest a little search using
