ODBC Import

E

Eugene F.

Hi,

I imported (File->Get External Data->Import) some FoxPro-like tables
into Access MDB using ODBC driver. I selected Visual FoxPro Tables
from the Machine Data Source tab.

Do I understand correctly that Access users that do not have FoxPro
on their computers can open and work with the MDB?

TIA, Eugene

Yes. Once the data is in an Access table, it's an Access table. There are
structural differences between the programs, but - data is data.
