>I always use 36 char guids ( formatted exactly like SQL Server UniqueIdentifiers ) as my surrogate keys in my VFP apps. When I upsize, using the upsizing wizard, I can only upsize as character(36) Then I must modify the tables in SQL Server to change the char(36) fields to uniqueidentifiers ( I realize I could probably fiddle the scripts on the vfp end to cast the values to binary(16) somehow, but that hardly seems a time saver.

Charles,
I didn't use upsizing but with SPT and alike SQL server recognizes 36,38 bytes versions, 16 bytes version and strconv(x,15) version.
