Hi everyone:

does anyone know of a good book/webpage that would help me with taking an existing foxpro project and moving the data to MSDE (the free version)? Cetin recommended this to me a while ago and suggested using the cursoradapter in order to do this (in order to improve security), but this right now is a bit beyond my programming capabilities and I need a book/web page that could walk me through it (I've tried MSDE briefly and without a GUI it (for me) is difficult to work with).

Therefore, maybe something on MSDE and something on moving foxpro data to MSDE would be great. The problem that I see upcoming is that all my forms and reports are based on getting the data natively from Foxpro tables. I of course would need to change this. Is that something that I can do easily (I have VFP8.0)? Most of my forms have commands that populate them with data from the tables ("locate" and then form_text_box = fieldname.value), and a lot of replace commands to either save or make changes to the tables in foxpro.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Paul
