Hi Craig. Greg Thanks for your replies.
I realise now that there is nothing in MVC that 'Requires' you to use EF, but it seems to me that the preferred option in MVC is to use Models, which seem to be based on EF.
All Sql Server stuff seems to work ok as Models, pity about VFP. I can understand why though in that there would probably be a lot of back Plumbing rewuired

I'll have a look at OLEDB or maybe a VFP DLL

Regards,
Gerard
