Your requests above lead them to working with ADO style data. Neat tiny packages and not hundreds or thousands of rows. <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms917355.aspx> OLE-DB is forward thinking for data usage where ODBC was the earlier model. As our industry changes in the future being tied to ODBC maybe another PITA you have to overcome, where OLE-DB will be modified by M$ or others for VFP. If you have to deal with other environments/systems you may find that only OLE-DB will work.
