>Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this? I would like to be able to extract MS Project time and materials data directly from VFP without having to do an export from MS Project. Can this be done via automation or another way?

I have never done it, but I am pretty sure that Project is controllable through Automation.

oProject = CREATEOBJECT("MSProject.Application")

or something. I don't have it installed but my latest MSDN has an object model for it.
