Hi Dorin

>I've forgotten about string value returned. Maybe because type conversions between VFP and DBC driver, I don't know.

Yeah I guess so. For Keys that is okay, but what will happen to the actual tables when returned thru the ODBC, like doubles, currencies, etc.?

Did you happen to refer the second problem I have posted?

Thanks for your help. I was told that you have a lot of experience with FireBird.

Of course I won't be troubling you directly but if possible keep a lookout for "V6s5 & FireBird" subjects in Third Party, I will be posting my problems till I get a sample up and running <g>.
