VFP70 I am on a intranet. I need to connect vfp from a workstation to a local XML database on the server. I have no idea what XML db it is. How would I go about doing this? I am very limited in my [xml] knowledge in this area. TIA - Wayne

Mike; Thanx for taking the time to respond... Could I ask you to be more specific. I tried adding it as a method to the current form that calls the report, and no joy. TIA - Wayne
