>If the middle-tier returns XML, then your best approach would be to convert it to a VFP cursor (using XmlToCursor), so you can bind it to the grid. You can bind controls to a BizObj properties as long as it is treated as a single-record entity. You can do this with a grid.

So, if I had a read-only cursor to display in the grid, then when a record is selected/highlighted, you could update the BizObj properties with the relevant fields, and bind them to the controls?

Am I getting that right?

Thanks very much for response
