Cy, Jon, Sanjay--

Thanks for your comments.

Everything for me is in a DBC (no free tables). The Seagate certified Crystal instruction place here in New York had a VFPODBC.DLL from 1999 on their machines. We just dropped my client's data on their machine, created a DSN and watched Crystal report on my data. Easy.

They had never heard of Visual FoxPro and I don't much more than that about ODBC. And everything worked without a problem. Very good.
