Also, sometimes the application hangs with no reason. There is no piece of code we can identify as the culprit. Reviewing docs, we think that the problem lies with the ODBC connections.

With Remote Views you don't have any chance other than ODBC. ODBC serves very well for me.

If you put RV and SPT aside, you can use OLEDB. In VFP6 you'd need ADO then. Starting with VFP8, OLEDB is supported through CursorAdapter.
