OLEDB is not the same as the .Net provider. OLEDB support for SQL Server is going away in the next SQL Server release. I thought I'd heard it was happening for Jet too, but I can't find info on that.


>I think he was referring to the Jet engine. I wouldn't see the SQLClient data provider to be removed. That is the fastest data adapter driver I have seen to access SQL Server and it is built it .NET.
