So you ask a bricklayer the best way to build a house because the architect did not actually build houses single handedly?? Great, I'll take the architect, you'll take the bricklayer. My projections of ADO.NET in that time were spot on. They were no match for VFPs local data handling. Sure it was a little better then ADO, but that was it, no post processing of any significance was easily done. BTW, I don't recall JVP being a big fan of SPs, rather I did hear him say many times to perform ALL data processing on the server rather on the client.

>JVP had a big mouth and that was the reason he was booted...

As if he did not know himself.
