That just it, I don't know how to proceed... I'm new to thisinternet stuff... I found a link on Rick Strahl's website about internet and foxpro and the original code sample came from it.

What I need to do is this:

Allow the main branch query the data at the branches. I was looking for a simple way to send a request for data, i.e. the query that creates the report, to the server at the branch. This would be returned to the user at the main branch for reporting purposes.

I presently have an application that runs in all of the branches etc. There are reports to be run in the branches, that the main branch wishes to run as well. I tried logging in via terminal services but I can't print locally... the user does not have a printer attached and the network printers don't show on terminal services... or at least I don't know how to do this.

So I was hoping to add a module that defined the parameters for the connection to the branches and then run queries against the data. The sample at Rick's site seemed to do this.

This is fun! I'm learning new things... I just wish it was under different circumstances.

Thanks for your so far,
Mike
