Doug,
I think you're missing something here. SQL Server 2000 itself can push XML around and one could always write COM Add-ins for Access where required. Like I said, neat little apps :-)
>FoxPro is and primarily so IMO because of COM. SQL is the future here and that also primarily because of the new XML stuff, which VFP will also have a hand in. Access and XML? Don't think so.
