Hi John,

Seems like I read the line in the wrong context. *s* I've seen it in the context of the Tastrade sample you gave in your message and your ADO white paper, probably being mislead by the "can we do this with VFP tables" part in the question.

>the VFP ODBC Driver is not smart enough to distinguish between a SQL statement, a table name, or command text.

I stand corrected. It doesn indeed report an "unknown property" error without the last parameter.
