Joel,

>You're talking about the OleDB provider, right? Have you tried the DDEX provider? My understanding is that it will fix the problems with VS.NET, or rather provide enough information for the .NET tools/builders to work.

The DDEX "provider" is a wrapper around the VFP OLEDB driver that presents the data design details in VFP databases/tables in a format that can more easily be understood in the designers and server explorer parts of Visual Studio.

I think you already understand that from the comments above, but wanted to make sure no one thinks that the DDEX "provider" is a substitute for the OLEDB driver.
