Hi!

Just put the result into temporary TABLE, close it, then using {32-character key} + FileToStr(DBF file) + {32-character key} + FileToStr(FPT file) return it as a string (after deleting temorary DBF). At the client side, using 32-character key, separate DBF anf FPT files, write them to disk into temporary file and open as usual DBF. Clean up it after work.

You can also convert cursor into ADO record set that is also very good fr passing data sets across COM boundaries.

HTH.
