When I was developing a search form a while ago, I used CursorAdapter and set SelectCmd dynamically on the fly. In SQL Server this is one of the most commonly asked questions and the advice is usually to go with the dynamic SQL. Same thing applies to the searches from VFP - you construct the select dynamically by checking which parameters are set in the form.
