Peter:

I use stored procedures for everything. It seems like you get a more logical seperation between your application tiers which I believe makes application development more organized. Once I have developed my database schema, I write all my update, insert and delete procedures all at the same time. When it comes time to do the VFP part, a lot of code is already written. Also, look into developing cursor objects. Most of my procedure calling and parameter passing code I was able to stuff into my base cursor classes making them very reusable. I'm still pretty new to doing it this way, but I see a very good framework developing as I move toward completion of this project.
