>Really? So... when you promoted ADO over and above VFP's "native" C/S access that you described as "lousy"... that was actually technical advice to VFP people to use SP to generate a VFP cursor?


You are an interesting piece of work. In another response by you to my message - you write:

Typical- wordy circumlocution to seem to address points while actually avoiding them... and slick conversion into an attack on the current target of choice.

And here you ask for the courtesy of a reply?

For the record, I never promoted ADO over something as generic as "VFP's native C/S access". I did and do promote ADO over RV's. I have also promoted SPT over RV's. And, I have promoted the use of ADO + SPT. The common thread is that I have advocated against the use of RV's - for reasons which are well stated. Can RV's work? Sure - but it comes at the cost of less flexibility with more effort. My views are well documented on the topic - so I don't need to repeat them now.

I think it is you that avoids the point....
