Hey Rod -
Merry Christmas. Hope life is treating you well.
I hadn't tried it until you suggested it - kind of liked the OLEDB - but just now I found ODBC will work - the driver is the .net odbc connection or something like that. The only problem is you have to write a query to get the data, so it is not nearly as slick as the OLEDB which lets you select all the tables you want to import. ( of course this may be SSIS vs DTS rather than OLEDB vs ODBC as this is the first time I'm trying to upsize DBFs into SQL 2005 using my favorite method in 2000 )
Would be interested to know if there is any known incompatibility with SQL 2005 and the VFE OLEDB provider though. Seems like kind of a big deal so I have to assume it is something I am doing wrong or *somebody* would have noticed this before.
Please let me know if you hear anything.
all the best in the new year

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
