As Mike points out RDS is rather dated technology that never really worked all that well has and serious security implications.

If you're accessing data from a browser application you can look into DataIslands and VFP backends to serve data to them using ASP or even more generic tools like some of the stuff built into Web Connection.

If you're using a Fat Client application things are even easier as you can just utilize VFP's XML features to convert data back and forth to and from XML.

For more info on XML and VFP see;

There are a number of examples that demonstrate using XML served from VFP on client applications from browser based ones, to Fat Client apps.
