You are using Jet provider, try this one:

        Dim oconn As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection
        oconn.ConnectionString = "Provider=VFPOLEDB;Data Source=c:\"
        oconn.Open()
        Dim ocmd As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand
        oCmd.Connection = oConn
        ocmd.CommandText = "Create Table test.dbf (filename v(240) Unique, Date v(50) Null)"
        oCmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
        oCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

Thanks

Also, the unique field obviously speeds up scans alot because of the cdx index, but will vb.net automatically create this index? I need to use a table that wont require a driver that does not come with a clean install of win2k, so I figured a dbf would be the fastest.
