Hi Jane,

Remote Views are going to be awkward to work with in a physical n-tier design as they cannot be used by anything but VFP components. I think I would recommend becoming familiar with ADO in that case. Remote views work best in 2-tier situations.

And, yes, RVs are better for beginners because you are shielded from the intricacies of the back-end server database language and/or SQL implementation.

It's not "Mark Thread" that you need to set with your account, but some other checkbox....I forget which but try looking at it again.
