Hi Steve! I prefer the SPT way using the framework I've put together for my VFP/MySQL projects over the past years. In that case, you're only limited by string length and the backend RDBMS. You might use TEXTMERGE as well to get around the parms issue (if there even is one)....then you're just limited by SQL length. I'm going to scrub that data today for the Scheduler app I wrote and then post it shortly. Grab the code then and check out how I use the sqldefs.dbf as metadata for all of the data retrieval/update operations, as well as local (temp) indexing on the cursors. --Michael _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
