>There is a small quirk however. Their most recent version (6.0.3) is not as fast as the previous ones. We have preferred to stick the tried 5.4.4 stuff.

Have you used the odbc drivers and foxpro?

If so, can you insert a record (using insert into table (datefield) values (.null.) without having vfp crash?

I've tried it with everything from vfp 5.0 to vfp 6.0sp3

Any advice would be appreciated!
