>The VFPOleDb provider has a serious bug against IIS. There have been numerous threads about that last year. This mostly happens when we do a SQL select command, but it also happens on SQL update and SQL insert. I never had it when deleting records. So, in order to workaround that, we had to implement a retry process.
I understand now. In my application I do all updates using VFP stored procedures. That is, the ASP.NET calls various VFP stored procedures. The VFP stored procedures are not using SQL update and SQL insert but APPEND and REPLACE. Maybe this is why I have not run into any problems with bugs in the provider.
