Doug,
If you go to the web site
www.appdev.com there is a link to "free stuff". Under the free stuff link is a way to download a book that discusses multi tier development with VFP. I know cause I wrote it..........
Inside is a good discussion of creating components with VFP and consuming them with VFP, VB, and on the internet. Included are lessons on using ADO and MTS.
Let me know what you think...
