Hi,

I am exploring the possibility of setting my VFP app to work with SQL Server. I've reviewed the upsizing and client/server documentation that came with VFP6 and feel like I undestand the concepts, but I'm trying to avoid heading down the wrong path in converting my tables and databases to run in a VFP front end - SQL back end situation.

- Should I use remote views ?? (I've heard there can be problems and not much benefit from using them).

- Should I explore more development on the SQL side (scripts that update data etc..), or concentrate on altering my VFP app data (convert my tables to local and remote views etc...) ??

I know its a little vague, but I was wondering if anyone that had done this before had any input.

I would greatly appreciate any information anyone has.

Also,
The tables in my app are all 10,000 records or less.
There are no Local Views in the application.
Security and Transaction Logging is not really an issue.
2 main goals are speed and providing data to other applications.
