Lisa,

I pretty much gave up on the idea, the "pain / gain" ratio was too high.:-)

I did, however, figure out another way. Write a VBScript to interface with SQL Server via ADO and write the necessary data to a text file to be imported into a FPW cursor. Not the most elegant approach, to be sure, but one that would work and even be called from the FPW menu.
