I solved my problem...
My logon id (myself) is in a different domain than all my other local machine id's like IUSR_xxxx, Administrator and aspnet.
I have installed vfpoledb.dll many time using my logon id (my logon domain).
I logged on using Administrator (the same domain used by IUSR_xxxx and aspnet userID's) and registered vfpoledb.dll
Logged on again as myself and volla.. asp.net found vfpoledb the provider.

But, I have a new problem (most likely with the same type of security solution).
My asp.net application works fine when the foxpro database is local (on my c: drive).
If the same database is on a network drive I get an 'Invalid path' error message.

I thought that it was that my ID have network access where all the other local machine id's do not.
As a test, in IIS I set anonymous to my ID but it did not help.
Using a mapped drive or a UNC still cause the Invalid path.
If I manually use that UNC in IE I can see the database folder just fine.

thanks stod
