If you are using VFP as a back end could you not just use SQL passthru commands to return VFP cursors rather than ADO record sets. Doing so would enable you to use all the VFP cursor power to manipulate the returned data plus you could also return function results such as datetime(). Are you committed to ADO for a specific business reason?
