I guess another issue would be changing all the queries to the new data source. The client said they had tried using OLE DB, but could not get it to work. I was not working with them at that time, so I don't know much about what they tried.

>For ODBC I don,t know all the options (ReadOnly might be available). She can instead use VFPOLEDB which has Read and Share Deny Write modes.
