John, I like this thread! I have more questions for you.

>No, but it is not the best way to engage in C/S development either, at least as far as Remote Views goe. If you rely on SPT and classes that encapsulate those features, you are on sounder ground. However, most folks won't take that leap. It is perceived as being far too complicated. In fact, it is not. It's just when you compare the two, Remote Views look too inviting.

When you say, "Remote Views look too inviting" you mean that is look to simple, when if fact it is not?
Can you give more information on what is the difficulty of using Remote Views in a C/S model?

Do you mean that you do not like the Remote View because it hard to work with or because you can only used them in VFP?
BTW do I know the girl you once dated? :)

>>Finally, i know VFP is a file server database and not capable of processing data access tasks in a seperate process. You didn't have to acuse me of such ignorance.
