>As an almost-related issue, in my straight VFP (or COM DLL) apps I have a stored proc that gets next-available integer keys from a "keytable" to emulate MSSQL's IDentity column. Can I / should I still be using that with the OLEDB driver?

Sure why not? You still need to generate keys right?

>Did you hear about an ETA for the updated driver?

No, but my guess is with VFP 8.
