>I agree with Craig. I would like to have to option of building tables, indexes and SPs and the like in a better IDE (like VFP).

Do you have specific complaints about the SQL IDE? If so, I think that weaknesses in the SQL IDE should be addressed in the SQL product, not in another product.

If not, then are you really just requesting a SQL IDE that you can use without hitting ALT+TAB? Though it looks like I'm in the minority here, this seems a frivolous feature to me- a VFP interface would almost certainly give only a subset of the SQL interface's functionality, and would have to keep up revision-wise with SQL's evolving featureset.

Personally, I would like a VFP grid that could bind to a recordset, or an ActiveX grid that plays nice with VFP _and_ as much functionality/ flexibility as our VFP grid has.

Beyond that, I can't see how VFP's integration could be all that much better without just being silly.

Which wouldn't be _that_ big of a deal. As you can see from my SPBuilder util in the files section, creating a VFP front-end for SQL Admin tasks is not a whole lot of work. Now getting syntax coloring and Intellisense in there would be quite an undertaking...
