Hi Charlie,

I can guarantee you that Mr. Templeman is not alone. I have a number of books on VFP, VB6, SQL Server and .NET.

Many of the (non-VFP) books mention accesing databases - only one book has any mention of VFP.

Wrox's Professional ADO 2.5 Programming from a few years ago did mention VFP. Specifically, in describing the origins of ADO:

 The OLE DB Cursor Service uses technology which was originally 
 developed for Visual FoxPro to provide a data caching mechanism that
 temporarily stores data and metadata in the form of an OLE DB Rowset
 in local memory.

>In the ADO.net chapter of "C++.net Step-by-Step" by Microsoft Press they talk about accessing data from a wide range of databases using ADO.net. They also present a list of candidate databases:
>
>SQL Server,
>Oracle,
>Sybase,
>Access,
>and so on...

>I guess VFP qualifes as "and so on"? The author's name is Jualian Templeman. I think he owes us an explanation.!
