This will be the true test as to whether Microsoft
is going to support VFP in the long term. VB already
has a databinding of controls to ADO. As companies
over the next few years stop writing ODBC drivers
for the newest and fastest databindings (OLE-DB),
VFP might not even be able to easily access the data
with remote views (if ADO databinding doesn't happen).
