>>I spent the morning listening to Robert Green and John Miller from Microsoft talking about linking VFP to SQL-Server. If this 4-5 hr. free seminar comes to your area, and you aren't already working with Client/Server, you should go! John Miller walked us through every step from starting SQL-Server and logging on through how to adjust your DBC to make the Upsizing Wizard work without hiccups finishing with a review of what procedures should be on the client side vs the local side. A simple APP was shown as local and as Client/Server and what changes were made to have equivalent functionality.

>>We left with a booklet containing his full lecture and an FTP address for the code Mr. Miller showed us, as well as a truly lovely breakfast!

>>And, of course, Robert Green gave a quick tour of Tahoe and a plug for DevCon :-)

>I guess the left coast gets the good treatment. I went to this yesterday. 2 hrs explaining how to convert 2.6 to 5.0 code, 10 minutes (maybe) looking at the sql server manager. no time spent on upsizing or internet work (mentioned in event description, left as 'done somewhere else' in seminar). Supposed to be in the washington DC area for another week or two. I'd recommend skipping it.

I went to session in Washington, DC. IRA did a pretty good job of going through the steps of upsizing and talked about how to set up the system and what pit falls to watch out for. IRA did talk about moving a timesheet FoxPro application to SQL Server and the Internet. There were about 20 people there and they gave away a copy of Visual Studio Ent. Ed. plus t-shirts. If you are running IE4 check out http://www.microsoftchat.com. I am glad I didn't take your advice.
