Charles,
Still there is a misunderstanding. You are saying Remote Views (or SPT) and it doesn't work if you use "SQL native client". SQLNCLI is an OLEDB driver and RV/SPT only use ODBC drivers.

(Is he a candidate? AFAIK no, K.Kilicdaroglu was declared as the candidate - wish one of them could win but elections are proved to be nontrustable)

>No ADO - just VFP SPT into remote views. In SQL 2005/vfp9 a query that includes varchar(max) mapped to VFP memo fields in the remote view returns no data from the backend into the memo field - behaves as if fetchmemo=.f. if I use the SQL Native Client but returns the expected data if i use the ODBC.
