>Where exactly do you think these object come from? What is an ADO recordset? Ask anyone, it's a VFP cursor. No matter how you slice the pie Corporate IT is still using VFP to access the data. Only difference is that M$ has decided to call it "Active Data Object". Still VFP!

No. ADO is not a VFP cursor. They may have similarities. If that were true, you could bind an ado recordset to a grid. Unfortunately, you can't. If you want to use ADO efficiently in VFP, you'd be better off converting the recordset to a VFP cursor.
