Lots of good input here. I appreciate all the comments.
For now ( the next year ) I have been able to resolve the issue involving ADS. That gives me some time to work out alternatives. For now, I have code developed over many years ( updated and refined of course ) that I want to continue to offer in the marketplace. Because it uses ADS for multi-user, thats a good way to keep it.
There is a "new game in Town" called oData. It promises to change everything, and Microsoft has embraced it in a big way, making it integral to their new tool versions!
I still have one open question. Does anyone know of a program that can take current .dbf files and create a Datebase in SQL and import those existing files as tables ? There were some in the past for older versions of SQL, but I have not seen anything on the current versions.
