Depending on how your application is designed now, you may need to do that anyway to move to SQL Server. If you've been using local views as your only way to access the data, then moving to remote views will be easier. If you use any other way to access the data (SEEK, LOCATE, APPEND BLANK, APPEND, etc), then you'll need to do some redesign.
