Thanks Steve,
  I do have a personal gdb, however am not able to have any success getting
the data in. I can make a successful connection but it goes south after
that.

Brad

I'm by no means an expert on this subject, but I have been reading this
string for the past week or two. There is a difference between an ESRI File
Geodatabase and an ESRI Personal Geodatabase. I believe the File Geodatabase
was a new feature with their 9.3 software and I'm not sure what format it is
in. The Personal Geodatabase is in MBD format and I believe OGR only
supports the Personal Geodatabase right now.

Like I said, I'm not an expert on this, but that is my understanding of
things. Perhaps someone who knows more can shed more light on it than me,
but I didn't want to see you keep beating your head against a brick wall.

If you need to use the information in both ESRI and AutoCAD I'd recommend
converting your File Geodatabases to Personal Geodatabase. It's fairly easy
to do. That is how I'm doing things for right now.

Steve

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

 I have the provider dll you sent in the fdo bin directory. I get a
successfull connection but when I add it to the map it says 

failed to cache features

geometry is null.

 I have tried this with several pgdb's that I have verified do work in esri
software.
