It's 'ENGINEBEHAVIOR=70'. I tried but didn't work. OK try this one sounds to be working :

oConn = NewObject('ADODB.Connection')
with oConn
 .ConnectionString = 'Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;'+;
 'Data Source=C:\VSO3\Projects\C04\DATA\VSO3VIEWS.DBC;Mode=Read;'
 .Open
 .Execute('SET ENGINEBEHAVIOR=70')
endwith

Then call your report manager routine as before.
I haven't tried this within in an exe but in development mode when I do this once and then close the connection (and even close all, clear all etc.), any connections after that behave as 'ENGINEBHAVIOR=70'.
