Sergey, thanks for the reply.

>>Take a look at Creating Client/Server Solutions in VFP help.<<

I have read the chapter you suggested, but there are still a few issues that are still unclear to me.

I don't have SQL Server (the company I am developing the VFP front-end for will), but would like to test accessing SQL tables via. remote views or SQL pass-through. Do I need the full SQL-server in order to do this, or does the ODBC driver take care of this?

I would like to get hold of some simple SQL-server tables to practice setting-up remote views. Will I have to install the MSDE that comes with VFP, or is there an easier way? Alternatively, what is the easiest way to convert VFP tables to SQL format? From what I have read, the SQL upsizing wizard does a lot more than this and expects SQL-server to be installed also. For instance, I can only see how to upsize from a database, not an individual table.

TIA,
Alan
