>Can anyone give me a date when the new OLE DB driver will be available for MSDN download? I really really really really could use it NOW! I need to have the fixes it provides for schema access via ADO.NET.
There is no official date. Ken Levy has said soon (in these next couple of weeks I believe). We'll have to wait for MS to answer or post the provider online when it's ready.
