>How in the world do you know all of this stuff?

Let's say that I've something to do with this change. :)

>Ok... how do I give vfpoledb access to the UDF()? A little code would be halpful. I am using vfpoledb in an asp.net application.

I think it'll be available to VFP OLE DB provide if you extract the UDF from the procedure file and put in the directory with the table.

>And... may I have a reference to the changes that came with the upgraded vfpoledb provider?

See MSKB #894012 New and updated features in the OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro 9.0. Keep in mind that whatever changes were made in VFP9 to data handling most likely will be also applicable to the VFP OLE DB provider.
