OK Jack, obviously you're the one who needs to do a little research and quite possibly a bit of soul searching. It's pretty sad when someone starts talking *crap* about something they do not know *crap* about. Not all database development applications provide thier own database, ie. visual basic. Also, there are plenty of database development applications that accomodate second party databases, ie. Access(can incorporate FoxPro etc.). I see you were not knowledgable enough to try to attempt to answer any of the questions I posed(which were not meant as a forum for internet surfers to try thier pretentious hand at a bit of pompous sarcasm), so please, in the future, when someone specifically asks for an expert, be gracious enough to keep your nose out of it! Peace, Patrick.
