Yes,
If I want to move to SQL Server, but have no time to convert all my forms I will prefer to use ADO recordset or ODBC one (not for VFP 9 tables) when I build CA, just to make sure that I won't miss something.If I must use the table before CursorFill() method what will happens with my form where I have a 20-30 tables opened? Also when I finish convert I must go through all my form and remove all code where I open my tables. This can be done in CA class, but after finishing conversion I mus remove that code from my class.
