Ken,

>Both .NET Data Access and VFP use SP_ExecuteSQL to do their work with SQL Server. Check the profiler and you'll see this.<

I don't think this is correct (at least for .NET ... don't know about VFP). If you're executing a Stored Proc from your .NET DataAccess, the Profiler shows that you just execute that Stored Proc ... there is no SP_ExecuteSQL being called.
