Steve,

>This is working except for the problem outlined in my original message. The stored procedure needs to wait half a second or two between its data table interrogation or else the web server resources get gobbled up by the stored procedure I/O activity and brings the web server to its knees.

VFP is going to hog resources whenever it possibly can. Especially if you are executing a long running SQL-SELECT. You will be better off delegating this task off to another report server.
