I don't know of many at all, if I look in my resources at my WHQ, I'd probably find 5 that advertise it. However, I don't think the OLEDB driver as a seperate install is a bad thing for a developer - we install a ton of stuff all the time, and it's not like the average Windows user will ever know. Plus, the install is clean and easy (IIRC you have to click [next] 4 times and it's done).

>How many web site hosts do you know who support VFP databases "out of the box"? That fact that the OLE-DB driver is a separate download and install, even for in-house corporate developers (no longer in MDAC package), is also a strike against use of DBCs. An author writing to illustrate a technology will use an example that is most likely to be available to most of the readers.
