>I just installed VS.NET Beta 1 today which included the new VFP OLE DB provider. I've been having some trouble getting this to work properly. I create a new empty file named vfptest.udl, right click the new file and select properties from teh shortcut menu. This brings up the standard dialog for a UDL file. I select the 'Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual Foxpro' from the Provider tab and then click on the Connection tab at which point I get a GPF.
What OS are you using? Win98, I'm guessing. We had an issue that popped up before the beta went out, but I thought it was fixed before the beta shipped. Is it possible to try this on Windows 2000?
And to answer your question, yes, it should work just fine for most folks.
