>There are lots of issues with the SQL Server native client when you connect from FoxPro. I think the problem is that the ODBC driver uses newer types that aren't supported by FoxPro and that causes problems. I seem to remember similar issues with Dates (vs DateTimes) and XML fields. The regular SQL Server ODBC driver tends to work better all around but there are a few things that don't work with it that work with the SQL Native Client. So neither one of the solutions offers 100% compatibility of the supported features unfortunately and which is which is not documented anywhere.

Thanks, Rick. We also use SQL Server driver and it works for us. We don't use date/time types in our application.
