Hi,

You use Vfp free table with the oledb foxpro , the last version work
with all dbf vfp.

And in Ado.net, you use SqlOledb client.

But the best way , it's to use SqlServer Express Edition for the future .

Olivier,

We did this, and had some performance problems that we finally determined
was a byproduct of using oledb via c#. In the end we replaced it with a
module that used VFP to do native access to the tables. Keep in mind that
you will probably not get the blindingly fast performance that you get from
VFP using native table access. Another thing to consider is using the VFP
api. I've done it from c++, and it's quite fast. IIRC, it requires that VFP
be running, so is probably not an option. Another option, would be to use
MySQL instead of vfp free tables, but if you are trying to use vfp from c#,
that may not be an option - ie someone is giving you vfp tables, and you
need to read them in c#.
