Oh please. It's far more likely that VB, and badly written code are to blame than the ODBC driver. Other people have no problems writin fast ODBC apps. Also, using a 9600bps line is a joke! Think about what you're doing. You can get at most 1000 actual characters to pass over that line in one second, and that's before SQL*Net gets all chatty on you (which happens no matter what method you use!)
