Yea...but why bother... Use stored procs and let the server handle data and transaction issues...

>>I really don't have a problem with SPT.... SPT is not a VIEW. The only knock against them both is that the end result is a VFP cursor. You cannot pass VFP cursors to components....

To some extent. I think in this regard, ADO is a more of a player...

Local VFP apps only, not for client-server apps. I still am a big proponent of VFE. It is the BEST framework out there IMHO. However, none of them have hit the C/S issue where it needs to be hit, and that is in the removal of Remote Views.... DataClas2000 has addressed this issue for me..
