I am guessing here, but I think the auto refresh feature bundles 2 SQL command via the provider. That's why the multiple step error. Again this is still just guessing, but the VFP provider may not support this. I will check it out and see if I can get it to work against the Northwind DBC. I know it works with Oracle and you can bet the farm it works with SQL Server.
