Hi Dave,

Your sample code looks a bit familiar ... I frequently use "select * from bob" in my examples. You've also left SqlCommand when you meant to use OleDbCommand. But, nevermind .... <g>

I haven't messed with fox data lately in .NET, but are you sure the tables needs a primary key? That may only be if you're using things like the command builder perhaps?
