In assessing "opinions" be aware that this "discussion" has gone on for a while.
Recent Chapters:
JVP: VFP has "lousy" native remote data abilities.
JVP: ADO is the best way to access data in VFP.
JVP: Stored Procedures are the best way to access Remote Data in VFP.
JVP: Remote Views are a "dumbed down" option for "po dunk" applications.
For considered appraisals of the facts I recommend you visit
http://www.fox.wikis.com and look up Remote. There are heaps of considered articles there by people who want to help rather than prove they are right...
Sorry for wasting bandwidth,
Regards

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
