Thank you for the links!

What seems strange is that there seems little limitation to the size of an HTML string that can be returned to a clien. Yet, XML (which aint that much different from HTML), is restricted.

It would be neat if that limitation was reduced and a client ECMA Script could work with the client's copy of the MSXML DOM to process the XML (on the client side).

I will be jumping back into my XML stuff early next week. I don't know about epiphanies *g*, but I am sure my explitives will be ripe. Learning these technologies and making them do work is so thrilling that sleep deprivation is almost enjoyable!:)

ON ASP and VFP COM - I need to model some behavior (JavaScript/HTML IE Clients - IIS - ASP may not be installed on some servers). I was thinking about doing this with CGI (initially) and then, once the expected behaviors were achieved moving the project to ASP.

I was thinking of using VFP for the CGI COM. Any advice or insights appreciated!

I'm still researching this but it appears to have around a 2k limit. So I'm having to chop up my strings and send them one at a time. Not pretty, but it works. If I wasn't under a time crunch I would try to research a different way to do this without the size restraints. But it is FAST!!!!!
