>Yes, this is not good news. We were wondering where I work if maybe it has to do with VFP using ODBC for Views and SPT and Yukon not comming out with an updated ODBC driver and only having an OLEDB provider.

It is more about data type compatibility (like the new XML data type in Yukon) and tools (Whidbey will contain Yukon-specific tools). You will be able to connect to Yukon via remote data access from VFP the same way you can today with SQL Server 2000.
