Hi Christof,

I came across an artice on Visual Basic (http://www.vbip.com/books/186100107X/chapter_107X_04.asp) where it is described how to send objects over the wire with DCOM. I'm guessing that the same is possible in C++ where one can control serialization of objects.

The reason why I don't want to use XML is because it is quite slow. Especially if you have to send large amount of data. If both client and server side are made with VFP then it would be much faster to use arrays.

You can easily achieve the same result as with XML cause in VFP it is possible to use AFIELDS() to store the structure of data in an array (except that it is 10 times faster).

The problem with arrays is however the 65 000 element limit.

Thanks!
