>>Either way, you're learning the hard way that RVs are no fun!<<
Parameters can and should be used whether using SP, SPT, RV, ADO, whatever. This says nothing about RVs.
To be clear, you can use parameters in RVs exactly as you do in Local Views.
In VFP7, RV remains an extremely useful mechanism. Use of the CONNSTRING parameter means you can include a "views" DBC into your application where it will NEVER become corrupt- not that I've ever experienced corruption anyway.

"... 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
