Thanks for the great answer.
Is there a way that a remote view made in VFP can access/run a Stored Procedure?

The only reason I ask is because multi-user development in SQL is not a problem, compared to a source-controlled DBC from FoxPro. Moving to SQL was going to help us out that way, but not if views have to be still made in VFP.
