I found SQL Native Client does not return Varchar(max) to VFP memo fields using SPT where the ODBC driver does. Do you not get these results? (actually, I thought it was you who gave me this solution when I was having trouble with some SPT calls that were not returning data to my memo fields) When i use the ODBC driver I have no problems with varchar(max) and VFP memo fields.
( or am I confused about which driver is the OLEDB - isn't that the SQL Native Client?)
And now I just went back to a test program and I can't seem to reproduce the Memo field problem with SNAC so perhaps I am dreaming all this ?? <s>

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
