>Yes, there wouldn't be any problem with that. But, I just can't use files on disk. I have over 2000 SQLs and many of them are generated when required by adding INNER JOINs, based on condition statements, for example. So, I need to do it from code directly in VB.NET. It would't make any sense also to create files on disk several times per second, which would be here in the range of 40 files per second.

As you are pressed for time and a solution, I think Viv is right: find a method without incurring the errors if you want to use the OLEDB and afterwards worry about a fitting implementation.
