Considering they are flipping over SQL Server I would learn to USE SQL SERVER correctly on the front end from VFP. You create the sprocs that do all of your CRUD operations. Populate them from the fox world and as VFP is replaced, the newer interfaces will use the same sprocs you laid down today whenever they are activated.

I actually think that Drew coded it so that it works through remote views in the background.
If I were to start doing my own code/framework now in VFP I would probably use CursorAdapters but I have never actually used them for more than playing with to learn about them. I believe they give you enough flexibility while hiding some of the technical details. If you want absolute control, then go with SPT.

Hi,
After running my app (VFP 9) on our local network (with a DBC) for many years, we are upgrading it (in stages) to a visual studio app with SQL server back end. I have read many people here talking about using SQL as a back end. At the beginning I will just be accessing the SQL data for reporting purposes but may need to write to it at some point. Looking through the archives some people mentioned SPT and others cursor adapters. Just wondering what people recommend to connect, so I can avoid the usual gotchas.
Thanks,
