Re: I have a problem creating a ODBC connection to a Foxpro Database!!

I assume you know the Access procedure to import/link tables via ODBC.

The latest version of the Fox ODBC driver is 6.01.8629.01 . Do you have a
driver listed with that version number on the Drivers tab of the ODBC setup?
(Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC))
