Thanks - never used it. Recent MS updates have raised some issues with
OLEDB. We use ADO exclusively now...which my code also uses.
We found that an update about 2 weeks ago caused our pivot tables ( default
to OLEDB) were taking up to 45 minutes to refresh 300,000 rows from our
databases. Setting the pivot cash instead to an ADODB recordset got us back
to <2 minutes.
