>It seems you haven't done SQL Server development. There is no perceivable speed difference between VFP and SQL Server 7. Development is not any more or less difficult using SQL Server for a data source if you know how. If you don't know how that is a different story altogether and it has nothing to do with speed or ease of development, it has to do with knowledge and experience.

Currently migrating our applications into SQL Server 7.0. Pure VFP to VFP database app has significant speed performance than VFP to SQL Server database. You can't use SEEK directly to SQL Server, you have to work with RecordSets not directly to table. We use both technologies: RV, SPT, SPs, and a little on ADO.
