Trouble linking files in Vista

T

Teri Welch

Hello,

We have an Access 2000 database which uses linked Visual FoxPro (VFP)
tables. Everything works fine on Windows XP but we're having problems on
Vista. When we try linking a VFP table we're prompted to setup an ODBC data
source. We go to the System DSN tab and click "Add" to setup a new data
source based on the Visual Foxpro driver. But we get an error message
telling us to first install the current "Visual Foxpro ODBC driver" from the
MSDN VFP downloads page. That page doesnt show an ODBC driver but only an
OLE DB provider which we download, install, and register. But we still get
the same error message when trying to link from Access. We also checked the
the Windows/System32 folder and the VFPODBC.DLL is there. Can anyone tell us
what we are doing wrong?

Thanks,
Teri
