>>ADO vs DAO is just a matter of the fact that I know some of DAO. I've found lots of learning material about both, I just can't seem to find anything about using them in VFP. (hummmm.... clue to Tom??) Most of the code is in VB.

The search for ADO learning material for VFP requires the standard answer: JVP's Jumpstart Whitepaper on the MS website.
