I did the deleting, and created a new connection [same name] but this didn't solve the problem. I didn't think of the cleanup or COMPILE DATABASE approach. Because this was a new project with only one item in the DBC (a remote view), I just trashed the whole thing and started over. The cleanup/compile might have worked on it's own. Good idea, hope we catch Tim in time for this approach.

>>I just saw a similar problem after loading VFP6 SP3. In my case I was using Btrieve, not Oracle, but the symptoms sound similar. The only thing I found that would solve my problem was to DELETE my DBC (not just empty it) and then recreate it and rebuild my ODBC stuff.
