>>I know far more about that topic than you realize. The aforementioned 'friend' and I had a heated debate early last year about Craig and Craig's book. I'm quite aware of his opinion on Craig's book, from Message #914374.

>Again, Walter's offering his narrow minded opinions of a topic based on second hand knowledge of the original. Did he read Craig's book or did he do like he does with .net and read some 2nd hand anti-MS idiot's article and conclude that .net was worthless in handling data? My bet is he didn't read the book.

JOHN, you're are choosing to ignore MICROSOFTS own words. The words of the VFP team and the words of many, many people up here. And before they did it, I already did in my OWN analysis of ADO.NET before .NET was released. Unlike you, I want to see for myself what a new technology means before I invest into it. Far more efficient....

You indeed classify as the ones I targeted in the article.
The truth hurts, doesn't it ?
