>I assume that you're talking about SQL 2005 and varchar(MAX). You'll get correct result in VFP for varchar(MAX) only with SQL 2000 ODBC driver. With SQL Server Native client empty values will be returned for varchar(MAX). It's VFP bug that is not going to be fixed.
PMFJI, Do I understand correctly that the SQL 2000 ODBC will work with SQL 2008 except for the new data types, like Date type, correct? I have to make my app support varchar(MAX) type and therefore have to stay with SQL 2000 ODBC. Therefore, I need to make sure not to use DATE type in the SQL 2008. Just wanted to clarify.
