You probably mean ADO (ActiveX Data OBjects). Returning an ADO recordset from a VFP COM object is pretty straightforward with the new VFPCOM utility. (Actually, it was straightforward before too: boh Rick Strahl and Ken Levy wrote conversion classes in VFP long before VFPCOM was released.)

To do this in your COM server, you need to install the VFPCOM utility on the machine where he COM server runs. Then you create the ADO rs like this:

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE SomeField = .T. INTO CURSOR MyCursor

oCOMUTil = CREATEOBJECT("VFPCOM.ComUtil")
oRS = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

oComUtil.CursorToRS(oRS)

RETURN oRS

Then the client app can use the ADO rs.
