Checking. Thanks
>>Hello:
>>I use OLEDB connections for some queries. In my new developments I have to connect Excel with VFP OLEDDB data sources, but the stock OLEDB connection to VFP Tables is not recognized by Excel, so I downloaded the new OLEDB driver.
>>The problem is that queries that used to run very fast with the old driver now take a long time. Does anyone know about ths?
