>Well, using the VFP view designer has always been an excercise in masochism anyway <s> Fortunately, Rick Schummer's ViewEdit ( continuing good work done by Steve Sawyer ) and in the VFE ide Dan Goodwin's VFEGenview have made working with the remote views against SQL backends a delight.

It's been so long since I've done any VFP, so my memory's a bit rusty (well, that could be attributed to getting old too <g>) ... but I don't think we ever used the view designer. I guess I was lucky. <g>
