LOL! The things we endure for the sake of the tools and utilities we create for ourselves and others. Even though I am not likely to use it, I included the ability to create VFP8 CursorAdapters for SQL Server tables just like it does for Oracle tables in by CA VCX Builder. Fortunately, there are numerous SQL Server gurus on the UT where I was able to get much needed help.
