>>I see. But the remote view is just a SELECT... FROM... INTO CURSOR definition, it does not contain the data by itself. When you open the view, it populates the cursor which is just a temporary table, and when you close it is gone. Of course, if the view cursor is big, part of it may be swapped to the hard drive. If you care that there may be some data left by any chance, make sure you delete all files in the directory which is specified as temporary dir for VFP.

Not exactly. :) Remote view in essence is the same as local view, just the data sources are different.
You are right that without the connection to the back-end you cannot bring any data in remote view on local PC.
