John,

The updated version of VFP OLEDB provider is expected to be released this month. See http://www.levelextreme.com/Conferences/EssentialFox/2003#Friday

>Hi,
>
>I just upgraded to VFP 8, from VFP 6, one of the reasons was to have the new VFP OleDb provider so I can start looking at/using Visual Studio.NET.
>
>I've found, after some experimentation and reading of several whitepapers on other sites, that the current VFP OleDB provider is missing a couple of features that enable the OleCommandBuilder in Visual Studio.NET to automatically build the SQL DELETE/UPDATE/SELECT commands. I've also found several examples that will help to manually code these...
>
>However I did see in one of the whitepapers (Rick Strahl's) that this functionality is scheduled to be provided in the next version of the VFP OleDb provider. (I'm not sure if he was referring to VFP 8 at the time.)
>
>Does anyone have a link to any further information on the status of this? Or just some info about it, or whether it will ever happen? I can't locate anything more after a lot of searching.
>
>Thanks for any help,
>
