I don't think being able to access a local computers drives from your web server is something you really want. If you can access it, so can anyone who manages to hack into your web site. That is not a good security setup.

Why not access the sever DB with an ODBC connection? You would have to drill a hole for the companies static IP address into the DB servers firewall, but that can usually be done safely.

If not you could write the data to a file on the server, then retrieve the file from the server using http or ftp. After doing that you would then be able to do xmltocursor.
