Kendall,

>> How do I attach a reference to the recordset that lives as a middle tier object created in a VB application? <<

Or even in a middle-tier VFP object? I find myself asking the silly question: "I don't get it, if VFP is so great as a middle tier, but nobody can read Fox cursors, how in the h**k does my middle tier VFP whiz-bang provide tables of info to an unknown front end??? Or even a fox front-end???
