Hi, Joseph.

If you want to move the file-based DBMS (!) to a monolithic database and still use it from inside your DBFNTX-based-app: No way. You may import all your data into a SQL-server and use tools like Boris Borzic's "slqExpress" to access the data from inside your Xbase++-app, but this isn't simple or done in a few days.
You may wait for the "Artica" product from Alaska Software, which migrates your app (and your data) to a real SQL-based app with only few code changes. But I can't tell you how long the waiting time will be. The product was first announced in 2006. ;)
