>I'm looking for sources of information on using VFP for developing 3-tier applications using VFP built COM components as the middle layer. Specifically, how do we pass data to & from the middle layer. The backend and frontend pieces shouldn't matter. Anyone have information on this or know where I can get it? Better yet, has anyone done it...I'd like to pick your brain if you have.

I don't have any info Craig, but please post your findings. We are using SQLServer stored procedures to effect the middle layer here, but what you are looking for is of great interest.
