Thanks for the suggestion. I have actually noticed your work before, but it always says "beta version". Do you happen to know if your library works well when used by an MTDLL in an apartment-threaded model? Since this would be working behind the scenes, serving up data to an ASP application, it would need to really be bullet-proof... or at least as stable as the VFP MTDLL itself.
