1 - submit the query
2 - retrieve the xml
3 - load the treeview

anything else I can do for you ;-)

The thing that you should watch out of is that VFP uses ODBC and ODBC only knows how to handle result sets. the XML that is returned by SQL Server is considered a stream. Since ODBC doesn't quite know how to handle it, it converts it to a result set. The result set has a single column that is 2033 characters long. The entire stream is returned, it's just broken up.

You'll have to iterate the result set to construct the full stream.
