>I recommend you to use OLEDB driver and Cursoradapter. VFP as I see it cannot interpret return types correctly with ODBC driver (and SPT only uses ODBC). It had problems with varchar(max) and xml of sql2005 and now probably with the new types of sql2008 too.

If we can live with CASTing our varchar(max) fields to a char(8000) and have no plans for xml, is there any reason not to stick with SPT?

Sergey pointed me towards the thread beween you and Charles Hankey on the subject. Very helpful. Thanks.
