Mark,

I haven't accessed VFP tables from .NET, so I don't really know if those connection strings work or not ... just a question though ... why ODBC instead of OleDb? I think it would be preferable to use OleDb.

Is those don't work does it mean there is something other than the ODBC conn string causing problem? Or is it possible that these ODBC connection strings don't work for every situation?
