I hope to limit database connections by allowing users to connect to a published text output of a MySQL dataset.

I am toying w/the rs.savetofile function in both the pfADTG and pfXML formats. -no issues there.  However, I need to read the result file, populating the results in a dbctrlGrid.  There's my hangup.

I have tried:

  pfADTG and connecting via a Jet Connection String
  pfXML and using the XML mapper -I'm missing something here; I can get no output or ability to create a dataset.

In summary:  I can create text output file of my ds (ADTG or XML); I cannot read the output back into an ADO dataset for retrieval by the dbctrlGrid

Any assistance is greatly apprecriated
