>>VFPCOM can convert both ways - two methods, one goes rs->cursor, the other cursor->rs. AFAIK, though, there's no way to create an RS directly within VFP; you might want to look at John Petersen's Whitepaper on VFP and ADO. XML might be a better way to approach the problem.

I realize this; I think that he wants to create a VFP COM object and have it serve as an OLEDB provider, where it receives a query, and returns an ADO recordset; I'm not aware of a way to do that directly. The biggest problem is how to pass the ADO RS back from the COM server to the client. Do you have a way to do that?
