>Also, I would highly recommend using the OLE DB provider that ships with VFP 8. It has been revamped to provide better compatablity with ADO.NET.

For people reading this thread... Along with being included with VFP 8.0, the new VFP 8.0 OLE DB Provider will be posted on the the Microsoft MSDN web site at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro for anyone to download for free within the next month or so. In addition, other VFP 8.0 material such as an Evaluation Guide, new samples and utilities for VFP 8.0, etc. will also be posted on the VFP web site.
