>slight correction -- the ODBC drivers shipping w/ VFP 5.0 will also allow CR 5.0 to read 3.0 containers. we'll be trying these drivers (probably) w/ CR 4.5 soon.

I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. When 3.0 came out, CR said the were compatable with VFP in all thier docs. As soon as I tried to read the DBC, I soon discovered that the ODBC drivers were not right. After calling them, I was told that they would be out "any second", which is sales guy talk for "We have no clue, 'cause we're waiting for MS to do it."
