Hector, Im still having difficulty getting the SQL server data sent as sql server data.


The guy who is sending the data says he cannot uinderstand what I mean when I ask for the 'Data Files' and he has sent me the SQL Server data copied out to Excel.

Is there any reason why these files could not be sent. From what you say, it should be just a matter of emailing me a .MDF file which should have all tables, rules etc . Then I should be able to copy them on to my PC and access them from within VFP.

Am I missing something ?

Regards,

Gerard
