Hi Thomas,

I don't know if you saw my yesterday's messages in the different thread. My colleague gave me an idea to access data through VFPOleDb to make sure that queries are run on the server.

Also I was pointed to http://www.vfpserver.com/downloads.htm that may give us what we want. However, the description on the site in English is not sufficient for me to make a decision to look into it closely and try it. I asked my Spanish speaking colleague to look into help files and give me more info. It will take sometime before he can do it, though, because he has other work priorities...
