Ok I have a question about the ODBC driver thing you said.
If I have a VFP application that uses remote views to access VFP tables and I'm using ODBC to do this, does this mean it's not going to fly on 64bit windows? And same with remote views using ODBC to hit SQL Server tables? I've been writing my apps this way for a while so when I have a client that wants to switch from VFP tables to SQL tables, all I gotta do is change a connection string in my DBC...and poooof! I'm done.... I'm just real carefull on how I design my VFP tables so zero conversions are required to move them to SQL tables. For a long time I thought this was a pretty slick idea....
