Craig,

Thanks for your response.

I need DAO to create an access mdb file programaticaly. I can do it with VB but, because I will also be reading a dbf file and then exporting it to the created access file, I would really like to do it in VFP.

ADO vs DAO is just a matter of the fact that I know some of DAO. I've found lots of learning material about both, I just can't seem to find anything about using them in VFP. (hummmm.... clue to Tom??) Most of the code is in VB.
