>If we create a middle tier using VFP then how can we return a set of records to the frontend.

Not sure if this will help...you moved VFP from the middle to the front so I'm a bit confused. Bottom line is, "What's you're front end? And what's your data source?" If both are VFP you have no problem. If not, then use an ADO connection to the database...it really makes no difference at that point what your front end is written in or what your database is.
