I think I have not been clear with my problem:
I have a VFP Database in BUILDING A SERVER and I am trying to access it from BUILDING B. I don't have the data in my local computer and I need to specify where the server is, the user id and password to connect. Is this something I can do using Remote Views?

>>OK, I understand that part, the question is:
>>How do I access my VFP data using a remote view if I have it in my NT server, not in my local computer?
>>
>>In the article q137944 looks like they are getting the data from a SQL server.
>>Maybe I am misunderstanding the concept of Remote Views.
>>Thank you again.
