Steve,
I agree with the other messages that HTML/XML should be your eventual goal, but I'm curious about your statement that the traffic is the same with ODBC. If you use remote views (not local views) isn't the traffic limited to JUST the data in the views? Just as it is with SQL-Server?

>I have found that the VFP ODBC Driver creates the same connection to native tables that a regular client connection does and therefore creates the same amount of network traffic. I think the trick here is to get the data localy via a web server and package the data as xml or http and send this packet across the WAN. It looks like Web Connection will do this for us.
