That's right - but there is a big difference between an app that is
not working and an app that works pretty much the same as before even
though the backend has moved from Jet to SQL Server. A working app
leaves you in peace from an impatient client out of business, freeing
you to proceed with optimization work (stored procedures, views, pass
through queries etc.) at your own speed.

It all depends. If John's client picked SQL Server to force an ADP
from John, ODBC is of course no solution.
