You can do that now but with Local Views. Look at the OpenViews property of the data environment of the form. Just switch it between local and remote. It's easy and you can use all the power of VFP files.

>It's a long story - but in a nutshell it's so I can switch backend databases. I change the connection string for SQL server or for VFP tables - so I'm able to use the same remote views. I know it sounds weird but it's worked for me pretty well. Obviously the tables have to be designed properly - but with a little planning it's pretty slick.
