>What's the best way to return a VFP cursor (or at least the contents of a VFP cursor) to an ASP script such that the contents are structured and therefore accessible as rows and columns like an ADO recordset object? I've seen posted here that VFPCOM is not reliable as a cursor-to-recordset translator. Thanks very much.

Instead of VFPCOM you can use OLEDB library (file #10002 in downloads) for conversion between cursors and ADO recordsets. It faster than VFPCOM and (AFAIK) free of bugs.

oOleDb = CreateObject("OleDbFox.Utils")
oRecordSet = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
oOleDb.CursorToRs(oRecordSet)  && converts a cursor in current work area
*oOleDb.CursorToRs(oRecordSet, "MyCursor")  && converts a specified cursor
