Dear John

Naughty, naughty. On the Wiki, I clearly compare *SP*s with RVs in the areas you quote. I assume you know the difference between SP and SPT. If so, in portraying a SP comparison as a SPT comparison you have provided yourself with a great "straw man" opportunity, but it's pretty transparent.

To those who are interested, the Wiki to which I refer is http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~MoreOnRemoteViews~VFP . As you will see, the point that JVP "corrects" about multiple backends is comparing SP to RV, not SPT to RV- actually the Wiki makes the same point that SPT may also be cross platform.

Ditto Refresh(). What I said earlier in the thread was

>>To me Refresh() is incredibly useful- especially in a fat client, data bound environment ...<<

See where it says "data bound?" With a RV you open it and Refresh() and Requery() as needed. Try that using SPT and a "databound" grid.

John, if you choose not to contribute to the Wiki, that's fine, but if you choose to rebut it here, please quote directly rather than translating to suit yourself.

Regards

JR
