Steve,

>My entire application has to live as VBScript code that I execute with cscript.exe. So creating a COM object is out of the question at this point. But what I think I will do it make the database a table and PACK it. Do you know how that could be done with just OLEDB commands?

Maybe I don't know enough about VBScript, but I was talking about firing up VFP as a COM server...you don't need to create a COM object in your code, just fire up VFP...your original code looked like you can fire up COM objects just fine, so why can't the code fire up a VFP COM object? I am probably just being dense...it has been a long day...
