Patrick,

Same here. What I did was rely heavily on the CursorAdapter class and the DataEnvironment class, which I made subclasses of and stuffed them heavily with method and properties to suit my needs. The 'cumbersome' part though, is to create a CA class for every table. I am figuring out how to do this via code-generation.

Afterwards though, you can just forget about them being SQL tables. You can continue on using xBase commands as they are now your regular VFP cursors.

>I am working on a conversion. Two things I have found very useful are the cursoradapter class and the code references tool. That is a lot of forms. What sort of application is it? How many tables are involved?

It seems from this thread that there are a lot more using SPTs than CAs huh?
