>>I was wondering what SQL Server 7.0 would do to the traditional desktop databases as well. I am also wondering what ADO will mean for VFP. Since VFP 6.0 will support ADO, does this mean that straight VFP coding for data access should be changed to ADO references in VFP (or perhaps another language)? I really like VFP for what it gives in terms of data access, OOP, etc. today in comparison to other products like VB. I'm hopeful that feedback from everyone attending DevCon will shed some light.

I wasn't aware of that. Why is MS saying that VFP6 will support ADO (without mentioning that VFP5 does it already)? Is the support more robust, perhaps? Actually, I can probably answer that by simply saying that advertising this as a distinct feature in VFP6 will provide an incentive for an upgrade. :-)
