>Hi All,
> I'm dipping my toes into the n-Tier object model with VFP. I have read Jim Booth's article entitled 'Building Middle Tier Objects in Visual Foxpro.' My question is, what is an RDS data control? What is the difference between RDS and ADO, if any? What are the benefits/disadvantages of using one versus the other?

In addition to Dan's suggestion, you might want to look at John Peterson's ADO for VFP Developer's whitepaper on the VPF web site.
