Thanks for the help but it's not really what I'm looking for, as the code itself is not written in VFP, it's either VB or VC.

I am using the ADO classes to access a VFP database from these languages and the VFP OLEDB provider is what appears to be causing the error.

I know it's not really a VFP issue, more of one with the OLE DB provider, but I couldnt think of anywhere else to ask !

Thank anyway though.
