The largest VFP project I worked on used MS SQL Server.
Foxpro's local DB handling was amazing at pulling down tables, doing complex bulk operations, and pushing the changes. Data transfer was fast, coding ergonomics were great. On top of the extremely low-cost UI creation, it was a no-brainer.
But expectations were changing, everybody wanted to run it everywhere. Citrix bought some time, but the writing was on the wall.
