John, some might say that what follows is ad-hominem, but it has to be said that you are coming across as a complete cretin! The performance benefit is a consequence of using the V.F.P OLE DB Provider not the fact that it is being accessed from .Net

OK...so what you are saying then is that it is more beneficial to use the VFP OLE-DB Provider than to use native access in VFP when accessing native VFP Data??? Look carefully at what you say above....

You all complain becuause I "nit-pick" over your words. Yet, when many of you write, it is often either self-contradictory or - you end up arguing in such a way that really supports an opposing point of view and in turn - is not effective in supporting your assertion.

And yes, what did follow was an ad-hom attack...
