Well I'm able to convert the assumed data types on the fly after the
data set is filled and I'm pulling out values.
The problem now is that I'm getting empty values in fields where it has
assumed a data type and the field doesn't match correctly.

Is there a way to make the OleDb just blindly dump string values into a
data set with NO datatype guessing???
