>>We are developing a part of a big interagency project on the Mac using VFP3. We will eventually need to connect to a SQL Server system at another agency. Does this work OK on the Mac? Has anyone done it before? We don't have, or have access to SQL Server for me to test this. The documentation claims that it should work, but sometimes claims and realities are vastly different. Thanks for any comments!

That would be great! I'll see if I can find it. Thanks for the suggestion.
