Building Client-Server Applications with Visual FoxPro and SQL Server 7.0

Visual FoxPro is the perfect front end for client-server applications. Its robust user interface, native local data engine and integral hooks into binding with remote data sources, and rich object model, combined with the powerful SQL Server database engine are an unbeatable combination. But with power and flexibility comes potential complexity. Client-Server Applications with Visual FoxPro and SQL Server teaches users how to put these two powerful tools together and take advantage of the best features of both.
