I guess it depends on what kind of parsing, but it shouldn't be that bad. They can always hand the string off to a VFP COM component if it's too hard for them.. *bg*

>We have a big project going on and some of it is in C++ and other parts in VFP. We have some large strings that need to be parsed and the C++ people were not happy about doing it because, as they put it, "C++ is a real pain for string manipulation". Not knowning C++, I took their word for it.
