We then need to send a command to the remote pc to send us the information. I've had a look at PCanywhere and our FTP programme doesn't appear to be able to do the job...sooo I'm pulling my hair out trying to work through this thing! If anyone has any advice - I'd be grateful.

Hullo Chris -
others will say other 'stuff'
but - i like CommTools for dialing and xfer'ing files as my #1 choice.
Scheduling ? make you VFP app stand alone, with parameters,
and use a real scheduling program, like the beastie from www.unisyn.com
