>I'm sure there are several ways. The one time I had to do it, I was using the VFP OLEDB provider. I just used a CREATE TABLE command, and then did a series of INSERT statements for each datarow in the dataset. That's probably the brute force way, but it worked for me.

Yes, it there isn't something more into the framework, I will have to consider that. For now, as the data has to be used in Word, for a mail merge, I am thinking of simply using the XML from the dataset. I assume Word is able to using an XML file for its merge.
