"FWIW, remote views are a waste of time. Anybody who has done any C/S work of note knows this to be true. As for SPT being much more productive, as far as creating VFP cursors automatically, you have a point here. However, the issue of how you pass data to other components remains an issue. ADO allows you to work with objects and OLE-DB providers, which is WAY more productive than SPT."

Just curious... I've worked on a product that serves as both a single user product and C/S. We used the CodeBook framework and sure it had bugs, but in my opinion was a fundamentally sound framework that saved lots of time when developing a product like ours that runs off of either a SQL Server or VFP backend with a single code base. As I'm sure you're aware, Codebook uses remote views heavily.

Could you eloborate briefly on your statement? I'm genuinely interested in your reasoning.

Thanks,
