>OUCH! SQL Server is not good at record processing. Unless you're doing something very simple inside the loop, my guess is it will be faster to pull the data into VFP, process it there, then send it back.

Ouch, I don't believe you just said that!
Everybody knows that VFP will do this fast, but how does NET cope with it
speed/simplicity wise ?
I don't believe what you just said, is something that is commonly adviced at NET codecamps. It would be like swearing in the (NET reborn's) church :0)

If NET roadsters hv to go back to VFP garage every now and then, to
do dirty their hands with 'service' like this, we don't hv to care for future of VFP.
VFP Sales will rise together with NET sales and eventually there
will be another VFP version <vbg>
