i have creating odbc connection to foxpro data

I am trying to create a ODBC connection to Visual Foxpro Database. When I select the Visual Foxpro driver witch is version 1.00.02.00, I receive a "Visual Fox Pro ODBC Error: "You must install the current version of the Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver. Go to http://madn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/downloads. Select Product Updates, then Visual FoxPro ODBC driver."
I have done this and installed the driver. It says that it installed successfully. However, I never see the updated driver in the list of ODBC drivers.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks again
John

Hi John,
The latest FoxPro and Visual FoxPro is downloadable from msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/downloads/updates/odbc . There is not a link to it on the page you referenced. Perhaps you got the OLE DB data provider instead.

Thanks for the reply, Cindy.
I have downloaded the driver from the link you provided. I still get the same error when trying to create a connection to a foxpro database. I have foxpro ver. 9.0 with service pack 1 installed and I also downloaded and installed the latest OLE DB driver for foxpro. I am still unable to create a connection.
Any help will be very appreciated.
Thanks,
John

I'm still not sure. Do you want to create an ODBC connection or an OLE DB connection? What sort of development tool or application are you trying to connect with?

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))

Hi Cindy,
Thanks for the help. Sorry it has taken so long to respond.
I do not see version 6.01.8629.01. My version shows "Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver 1.00.02.00.
How do I upgrade to the newer version?
Thanks
John

Hi John,
Go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/downloads/updates/odbc . The actual download link for English is http://download.microsoft.com/download/vfoxodbcdriver/Install/6.1/W9XNT4/EN-US/VFPODBC.msi . Note that I haven't tried FoxPro ODBC on Vista to know whether this will solve your problem.
If that doesn't help, post back.

Hi Cindy,
I have downloaded the link to the foxpro ODBC driver. When I run the msi file that I downloaded, Iget a Windows Installer error "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation". I can't get the install to go any further than this. I don't understand what the problem is. I have installed applications with the msi exentsion before with now problems.
Thanks,
John
