John,

>>If I use the dLL in VFP, I can decode the table from the returned string. If I use it in the asp page, it fails. It only returns the table and memo definitions. No other data in it.

You can't decode the dbf in an ASP page (and couldn't do anything with it if you could decode it). However, you could use Rick's wwXML class instead of encoding the dbf, and could then use XMLDOM in ASP to work with the XML data, and could use wwXML's client-side stuff to convert the XML into a cursor for VFP.
