>Sorry I've missed your private message. I've seen your solution, though I really have not tried it. I do have somewhere my own solution and was going to compare my with yours from a performance standpoint of view. However I do have some other priorities, so I'll check it when I have the time. Meanwhile I just want to thank you for posting your solution. If not for me, it now is recorded up here for anyone who needs it

Hi Walter,
Performance is quiet ok if there are no memo fields. If there are memos,
then things get little bit slower :(

*** Test machine: P2-400 mhz with 196mb ram ***
(download today's version from faq)

- 2580 records without memo - in 0.6 seconds

That's fine & dandy but ;

- 2580 records WITH 1 memo - in 2.5 seconds !

With each additional memo field add aprox 1 second on (on 2580 records).

I don't know how this compares to CorsorToXml/XmlToCursor as I cannot test.
(Still with VFP6 SP5)

It wld be very kind of you, if you could make comparison tests with xml transfers and post some results here.

In any case most of these transfers are smaller sets of records, so lower
performance with memos is not so big setback, having in mind convinience
achieved this way.

So at the end - I wld say YES - we can pass cursors around as objects within VFP :)

If you reply by the end of january, that wld be just fine.
I am in a way better mood today :)
