I read in the book Client/Server Apps with VFP and SQL server that in order to use remote views to work with SQL server data you need to have 1)named connection in the DBC 2)DSN.
I think I read in some message here that you don't have to have DSN. My questions are:
1) would it be an advantage to use the technique of working with SQL Server db without DSN?
2) how do you work with SQL Server data without DSN?
TIA for any suggestions or help.
