Just a quick FYI.
If using SQL Pass-through, don't forget you have the "CAST()" syntax
available (you can convert dates to strings, set a size of the character
length, etc). I've used it frequently to ensure a "proper" (expected)
VFP data type output result.

It seems to be an issue with the Filemaker ODBC driver, they suggested VFP does
ODBC v1? And their driver only supports ODBC v2?
Whatever the issue is, Remote Views seem to get around it. I would just like
to be able to get around it using SPT.

Subject: Re: SPT and Remote Views
Remote views, as you've indicated, let you specify the target structure of the
query.
When you execute direct SPT Fox attempts to get the first record matching the
query, and uses the structure of that result as the (fixed column) structure of
the result set. So, if you have a varying-length string
(varchar) and the first result is 3 characters, VFP might create a C(3) field,
which could truncate everything else. Does that describe what you are seeing?

Hi All
What extra happens when using Remove Views over SPT?
Using the same ODBC conneciton to a Filemaker database if I do "select
* from ...." I get mixed results for the text strings.
If I perform the same query via a remote view I get the same mixed result.
But if I go one step further with the Remote View and specifc
properties of the fields it manages to pull complete information out of
filemaker.
So what extra is Remote View managing to ask of the Filemaker ODBC
driver to make it behave?
Any ideas?
