>>>It's possible in a couple of ways. An ADO recordset can be passed to an OLE Object in VFP 6, and viewed/manipulated in the object, or you can create an OLE object in VB, and call it from VFP to have it return a recordset object. Once VFP has the RS object, you can maniplate it from there using its properties and methods, or convert it to a dbf using your own routine, or one of several generic ones that are available as freeware.

Thanks for the reply.

While I've been away I did almost exactly as you suggest, except I used the vfpcom.dll to convert the recordset to a cursor and it does work. Pretty cool.

After saving the recordset to a file I did this;

#DEFINE C_VFPCOMCLASS 'vfpcom.comutil'
oADO = CreateObject(C_VFPCOMCLASS)
oMyRecordSet = CreateObject('ADODB.RECORDSET')
oMyRecordSet.Open("c:\download\testdata.rs",,3,3)

nError = oADO.RSToCursor(oMyRecordSet, 'mycursor')

Thanks again.
