I am wondering which would be better for my database FoxPro or MySQL. I have a growing access database. I am using Windows 2000 Server. What are the pro’s and con’s of both?

If depends what you are using the database for. In any case, it would be hard to recommend starting a New project in Foxpro 2.6. You might want to post this question in the Foxpro 3.0 and Up forum.

I'd agree, using anything but FoxPro's native data handling is very difficult to impossible in FPD or FPW under Win NT/2000/XP. VFP 8.0's new CursorAdaper class makes using alternate data stores MUCH easier (and some would suggest even recommended!).
