Answer : Access vs Visual Fox Pro

I had the same thoughts a while ago.

ACCESS:
I found Access much better for multi-user and record locking.
Also, the query builders are far superior.

FOXPRO:
Foxpro provided me with the ability to create EXE's freely and distribute much easier.  

I also found that foxpro was easier to develop applications that were much more restricted in what users could do - (for less experienced users)

It was also quicker to develop in.  

However, was not keen on the record locking and database locking.

I disagree with the comment that there was not much support on the web, I learnt foxpro in a week and developed an application for a client.


RECOMEND:

If you need something robust and rich in functionality, I would reccommend Access.  But in my experience, it takes longer to develop in.
Thats my opinion, for whats its worth.
