Yes, I choose LATIN10 after odbc connect and things go ok, I'm using
visualfoxpro.

No, I've not using any odbc log check. I'm using Excel - Data - Obtain
remote data - New query (translated, I've got it in spanish) which
uses an asistant to obtain data. When I try to include more than one
table appear a message box telling something like "the asistant can't
relate the tables, you must make it manually", after that appear
MsQuery to do it, but make a full join on both tables. If the tables
have 50-100 records there is no problem (100*50=5000 record) but with
large tables just collapse. I fix it making views and selecting the
fields just I need with a specific filter.
