Thank you, you save me hours of frustration.

Do you know of any effort in the community on building a VFP Server?
By "VFP Server" I meant sort of a VFP component or application running in the same server with the data and that receives requests, runs code and extract/process data in that server and returns let's say, XML, just resulsets to the requester.
