OK, now I'm confused ... why do you mention VFP's CursorToXML()?? I thought this was all .NET ...

>>Hmmm ... and you're binding the DataSet to the DataGrid the same way (after you call the WebService to get the data)? If so, I'm not sure what the problem might be now ... check out things like maybe the Table name. You're sure the DataSet is being returned correctly and that there's data in the DataSet?
