>>>The latest SQL Server ODBC driver, which works for SQL 2014 and all prior versions, is ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server. There is an x64 version that must be used on x64 OS versions, and installs both the 32-bit and x64 versions. Then there's an x86 version, that installs just the 32-bit version. VFP, of course, needs the 32-bit version, whether on an x64 or x32 OS version.

This version seems to have to the memo issue - varchar(max) doesn't come down as a memo field. Switching to something like varchar(6000) works, but really sucks.
