>We are using VFP linked server (OLE DB over ODBC) to access a few 2.6 tables from Sql Server. It looks like speed is the same as using ODBC to access the same table. After VFP OLE DB provider was released I tried VFP linked server with it and found out that it's much, much slower than OLE DB over ODBC.
