>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?

ADO is an object, so when you create your record set object (usually called rs in code), you put

RETURN rs

in your code.
