Denis,
The suggestion that VFP'ers will have trouble with ADO.NET is just nonsense IMHO. I'm sure you've had a look and agree it is more complicated but hardly rocket science. With automatic disk/memory spanning it will be useable in most cases though cursors are much more "obvious" to a human.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
