I'm going to convert a large VFP application that uses the CodeBook 
framework to DABO. This system manages the day-to-day operations of a 1200 
member Yacht Club that I belong to. It started out as a FoxBase app 20 
years ago, and has evolved over time.

I recently converted it to use mySQL as a back end; it makes extensive use 
of remote views as well as VFP's SQL passthrough. This should make it 
easier to convert to DABO, since the nasty work of converting from VFP 
tables to mySQL has been done.

However, as I mentioned, it uses remote views. For example, when I display 
the member's data, I have a VFP remote view that picks up fields from the 
member table (these are editable) and from the membercategory table (these 
are read-only).  This type of things is done extensively in this app.

I'm quite new to DABO - just started playing with it.

What should I be looking at in DABO/mySQL as a replacement for the remote 
view (with multiple tables) facility of VFP?
