Yupp, but there is the off chance that the "middle step" of switching from ODBC to OleDB circumvents the problem. For me the easiest way after second try (after 10 min of coffee break for mental reset) to resolve such problems is:

copy / export to local or "remote" dbf,
get SQL syntax running on vfp dbf access
"implement" as minimal CA (.Table, .Alias, .SelectCmd on native)
(copy dbf to remote machine for large files)
verify CA using ODBC or OleDB returns same data
switch over to server while observing personal good luck rituals

In theory CA with ODBC or OleDB could also be checked on local file - here I use paranoid POV ;-)
