Thanks for any help and or suggestions and have a great day!
 
Thanks, Leland! The development framework is mostly VB/VBA with a strong desire to go to .Net as soon as possible.
 
Hi,

I've worked with ADO OLEDB connecting a Visual FoxPro app to a MSSQL backend using an activeX .ocx grid. Worked pretty well. I havn't used ADO to connect to a postgreSQL database, so I can't supply you with a working connection string, but the below link should help. Once you make the connection it should work about the same regardless of backend. He is a link:



OpenLink Software Releases High-Performance, Fully Managed .NET Data Providers for Major Databases


Here is where an OLE DB provider for postgreSQL is in development, but their is no stable release available for download at this time. You may have to use ADO OLEDB over ODBC.

Regards,
