>As an alternate "wish" for you to think about, what about having a VFP-to-VFP capability for all SQL commands (at least), including views of course. The main objective being to pass 'recordsets' and/or SQL commands between VFPs (say clients and a VFP remote server) without conversion of any kind.

Since ADO code was based on VFP cursors... I don't see why they can't objectify cursor so we can pass them back and forth between VFP objects (in process or out).

The other option is that there be more support for ADO recordsets with VIEWS and UI controlls being able to bind to them.

You can use ADO in VFP now, but you have to kludge the data binding, and if you want to use a RS with a grid, you have to convert or use the ActiveX FlexGrid.

SO...

>That's been my wish since VFP 3, but so far nothing. I know I'm supposed to give up if it doesn't appear within 3 releases, but the (only ever) e-mail from Mr. Green suggesting that such was being carefully considered keeps me looking out for it.

I share your wish... The 'premier middle tier' tool should allow for a simple method to pass data to and from the tiers built with it, and other tools.
