What is New in this release

• Query performance is 20% faster.
• Vfpodbc.dll is smaller (from 1.20MB to ~835KB).
• The SET commands (see Help file for a list of supported SET commands) are now supported.
• VERSION( ) is supported through stored procedures.
• Local views are read-only.
• If you insert or update a table with a logical field (a column with a SQL_BIT data type), you can now use 1 (true) and 0 (false) to store a value in a field. When comparing values or in an expression, you must use .T. (true) and .F. (false).
• The 16-bit version of Microsoft Query (version 1.0) now works with the Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver.
• SQLGetInfo( ) and SQL_FILE_USAGE now returns SQL_FILE_QUALIFIER for both database and free table data sources.

Known Issues

• If you insert, delete, or update a Visual FoxPro table via the Visual FoxPro ODBC driver, you might get a "Trigger Failed" message. Check for unsupported commands in the trigger.
• INDEX ON is not supported in this release.
• If a table is opened exclusively and the same table is accessed by another user with SET EXCLUSIVE OFF, then the Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver returns the error "Cannot Open File" instead of "File is in use by another."
• MSQuery returns a "Cannot Access Table" error when creating a table with a field name that starts with a number. For example, the field name "1995 Sales" is not allowed. Visual FoxPro does not allow the creation of field names that begin with a number, but MSQuery does.
