Finally some good news -- of course I have to ask again for my own sanity -- You are use remote parameterized view (... where city like ?pcCity ...)????

I guess I need to become a full fledged member of the universal thread -- I can't access your KB article. I will join up and call in my credit card # 1st thing Monday a.m. If you could, would you mind giving me the address for the location for the Oracle ODBC drivers for Oracle (or is the one that ships with VFP5.0a OK?)

Your answer alone is worth the $60US subscription price to Universal Thread!!!
