Sorry, I should have said asynchronous execution with SQLExec() and SQLMoreResults(). This should work regardless of ODBC drivers used. From the VFP help:

Asynchronous execution

Specifies that Visual FoxPro executes SQL pass-through commands (using SQLEXEC( ), SQLMORERESULTS( ), SQLTABLES( ), and SQLCOLUMNS( )) in the background after returning control to your application. If you choose this option, your application can display progress information and can allow users to interrupt a command with the ESC key if SET ESCAPE has been set to true. You can determine the status of a SQL command executing asynchronously by calling one of the pass-through functions repeatedly until it reports that the command is done. The default is that this option is disabled (synchronous execution), which specifies that Visual FoxPro waits until the pass-through SQL command is complete before returning control to your application.
