Hi Australia

Assuming that by "SDT" you mean StoneField DataBase ToolKit, I use to use it to update a client's site almost
every week, and they were using the runtime version of VFP 5.0. I gave up SDT, because I didn't like their
framework, so I can't help much, but I can try to answer any questions about how I did it.
