Kevin,

Why wouldn't you just scan your cursor and send subsequent queries to the SQL invoice table using the criteria in the first query. You could build a text string for your WHERE statement that included the parameters of all customers in the cursor if you wanted to get all child records in one query. I am not aware of how you create a stored procedure thru VFP on a SQL Server. There may be a way but I have never looked into it. I would think that the overhead of creating the stored procedure coupled with its execution would be more consuming than the above alternative.

Obviously, I can't pass a character string containing every account/item key, but I haven't figured out how to 'pass' 2 cursors (containing the selected accts/items) to SQL Server so that a stored procedure could query against a back-end invoice table.
