Problem using FOXPRO Free Tables from Access 2000

T

TONECHO

I'm using Access 2000 linking FoxPro Tables via ODBC

When I link tables with numeric fields Access gives me an error:



"The Decimal field's precision is too small to accept the numeric you
attempted to add."



I find this problem in "Knowledge Base"

I update my Windows XP to Jet 4.0 SP8 with Mdac 2.8 RMT and the last version
of FoxPro ODBC Driver and but the problem is the same.



Any help appreciated.
