>>Hi,

>>I am beginning a process of moving my ASP.NET application from using VFP database to SQL Server. At this point I want to try a few things to see what I am most comfortable doing. In ASP.NET/VFP I was calling a VFP stored procedure passing an XML. I suppose with SQL Server I can/need to call SQL Server directly.
