>This is a new application which is both for production and as a test of the usefulness of .Net. I have been experimenting with MM.Net and hope to use the framework for this application. My initial thoughts were to use a VFP COM server to prepare the data forr further processing on the WEB server. Store VFP generated XML to Datasets and then use MM.Net to safely tuck them away on SQL Server where a stored procedure would "digest" the VFP data.

You said the VFP desktop app prepares a batch of inventory updates. Where is it getting the inventory update information from? Are FoxPro tables involved in the mix? It sounds like you're thinking of converting cursors to XML and passing them to a web server running a .NET Web Service which would in turn write the updates to SQL Server?
