I haven't used RDS, but from what I read, it has some gaping security holes that leave the host server pretty vulnerable. I know both Rick and Markus Egger don't use it for these reasons.

>Using client side script, I can call methods on my VFP COM object that run queries and return XML strings. I then load them into the XMLDOM on the client using the LoadXML() method. From here, you can bind them to the XMLDSO and work with local data using ADO commands.

Yeah, this is really cool. I was really surprised to see that form controls can bind directly to a data island. After the XML is loaded, a RecordSet object becomes available that lets you use all the ADO commands right on the XML. Cooooooool.

I only wish that this functionality weren't specific to IE. C'mon Netscape- catch up...
