Well, I don't know if it's that clear cut, but I initially switched to oledb, thinking that it was the *way to go*, because it was more "native" and faster than odbc. When I posted my problems, the few cftalkers that responded said that oledb was probably *not* the way to go. :-/
Hopefully, others will chime in, and have *all* the answers. Jamie On Wed, 18 Jun 2003 13:24:58 -0700, in cf-talk you wrote: >Hmm... So oledb no work...
