	I think that the confusion stems from not having a clear
picture of what ODBC client and ODBC server mean....

	With the client version, filePro requests a ODBC server
(such as MySQL which is constantly running, waiting for a request)
to read and write the MySQL records. A filePro ODBC server
would have to run constantly and allow MySQL to read and
write filePro's records.

	If you wanted some XML code to do a given job, a week
would be enough. The thing is that filePro XML has to be a
generalized tool which helps you to quickly create whatever
you need no matter what the XML project looks like. This takes
time to design, code, test, test some more, document and finally
ship it to the paying customers.
