>Can you explain a little more? I don't get it. Wouldn't I have to invoke a COM Object in order to fire off the process? Even if it's in MSMQ?

KISS principle here.

I would have the COM's as a VB wrapper. They recieve a request, fire off the SQL, RETURN a .t. to you, Print the results in Crystal. Or they then call a second VFP COM to do the same.
