BTW, I think that Robert Green's white paper on the pros and cons of both approaches are well worth a mention.

Do you remember the the Pros Talk VFP 3.0 series from Pinnacle Publishing?

Current titles on the subject notwithstanding, Robert's book, 5 years hence, is STILL the better alternative book resource on implementing C/S applications in VFP. While he does talk about RV's, he also goes into great detail on SPT and in turn, does a great job of comparing the two.

IMO, the free docs on Dataclas expand on that work by integrating ADO. Whether one goes with Dataclas or not, the docs outline the architecture, which has its orgins in VFP 5/6 Enterprise Development.

IMO, Rod's contribution to the community in this regard is on par with INTL, GenscrnX, Mac Rubel's Raidar, and FoxExpress to name a few...

Thank you, John. As I said, I'm a relative newbie with SQL Server and your posts on the subject (and ADO, including whitepaper) are read and referred to often.

Then I guess what I am doing up here is worthwhile after all, other commentary nothwithstanding!! < bg >

Thanks,
