"Bruce"	I am accessing DBISAM 4 tables under ADO.NET using the ODBC driver. The tables use Guids for primary keys and relationships between tables. When I fill a DataSet using a DataAdpater, the DataType for these columns is reported as string. When I subsequently try to use lookup controls from DevExpress, the lookup does not work when the lookup relationship is based on these guid strings. Can someone help me understand what the issue is and what I can do to get this to work? Thanks... --Bruce

I'm not sure what problem the DevExpress control is having, but you'll probably have to contact them to find out more. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com
