John,

I read you reply and had to ask, when you say "if you are not using VFP Views (which our gurus say you should not)" do you mean:

1 You should NOT not use views
or not use views? I am assuming you mean the gurus say we should not use views.

I have been using views and I am very interested in discussions concerning the pros and cons.

Thanks,
Matt

If you are not using VFP Views (which our gurus say you should not) I'm afraid that Access does seem a far more "modern" scaling environment- you can treat SQL tables and views just like Access views.
