Bob,


>> In reading your "Advantages of Client/Server" section from chapter 1

I have to admit that I didn't write Chapter 1. It was written by the primary author, Gary Dewitt. I actually wrote a small portion of the book.

>> To me, using VFP is a no brainer if one really looks at each of the tools strengths and weaknesses. The data oriented nature of VFP, along with the ability to create objects makes VFP the ideal "client". It is unfortunate that VB is positioned "in front of" VFP for SQL development.

VFP is a great product that has gotten the "short-end of the stick" from the IT industry at large (IMO).

>> I wish examples and training courses on SQL were not so "Visual Basic" oriented.

I think you'll find that most VB examples quickly convert to VFP as long as you're familiar with ADO - which isn't such a bad thing anyhow.

>> Keep up the good work Mike, and I hope that your book pays you back for your contributions to the VFP community.

Thank you very much!

-Mike
