Hi Charles,

Do your char(36) values have beginning and ending braces? If not, try making them char(38) then adding the braces to your strings with REPLACE ALL and see if that makes a difference...it did for me once before.

Just a crazy, off the cuff idea, but HTH.

My char(36) field looks exactly like what I see in a uniqueid field, but in using either DTS through the vfpoledb driver or going from VFP to SQL with the upsizer I do not seem to have the option of telling SQL I want this information to be seen as a uniqueid.
