Hi guys!

That's pretty heads-up, Patrick, making all bound data views and a good way to simplify your migration in the long-term. The only problems I have heard about are blank dates and memo fields. Blank dates cause a problem because ODBC can't seem to deal with them too well (they come across with a 19thC date) and memos come across REALLY slow compared to other data. Other than that, Marks comments make a lot of sense for you.
