On dc.open. Here's the actual code. sConnStr is the connection string
described earlier.

Dim dc As New OleDb.OleDbConnection(sConnStr)
Try
dc.Open()
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("Open Fails, error = " + ex.Message)
Exit Sub
End Try

I'm trying to write a quickie Winforms utility (VB, 2.0) that will pack
some
FoxPro 6 dbf tables. Unfortunately the same connection strings that
worked
with my web app don't seem to work in Winforms. It's crashing on open
with a
'Feature is not available' message. (And yes I've already checked
ConnectionStrings.com)

I've tried a connection string of both:
"Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;" + <file path> + ";Collating Sequence=General"
(This is what I've been using in my web apps.)
and

"Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;DRIVER={Microsoft Visual FoxPro
Driver};SourceType=DBF;" + <file path> +
";Exclusive=NO;BackGroundFetch=NO;NULL=NO;Collate=MACHINE"

(got that one from ConnectionStrings.com)

What am I missing?

(Is there some reference I'm forgetting? Something extra needed in
Winforms
but not web apps???)
