It's hard to not notice that **nobody** commenting on the VFP EF Provider is using it!?!? Eventually, like Lewis and Clark, you will make it to somewhere but if by chance one day you find yourself thrashing around in the bushes you will be a testament to the "bleeding edge". I stay with ODBC or OLE DB and limit my exposure to their weaknesses. It may not be elegant, but then on the boulder to boulder level neither are the pyramids. Just my 2 cents.
