>Sergey,
>Thank you for the Link...already I am getting confussed as they start getting into SBT, and pass through. I have never done any real SQL language before.....and yes from the other night I undrstand you cant use VFP commands that you can use in an SQL select statment in VFP ie, there is no logic field in SQL tables , which was brought up the other night.

It's not SBT but SPT - SQL Path-Through.

There's a link to Robert Green article 'Integrating SQL Server with Visual FoxPro' http://msdn.microsoft.com/archive/default.asp?url=/ARCHIVE/en-us/dnarfoxgen/html/msdn_bko02.asp. It should help you started.

>what I am looking for is how can I move a copy of SQL tables from an SQL 7 server to my home PC with out having to install (and get another licence) to my pc, and start to gather data from the tables using VFP.

You cannot just copy Sql Server from one PC to another. It has to be installed. The data can be copied. I think If you owe VS you can download MSDE 7 for free. Let me know if you are interested and I'll try to find the link.
