We commonly use MS Visual Foxpro v9.0 SP1, the language, tables, and reports. However, sometimes we use an ODBC driver to connect to the tables. The ODBC driver was written for Foxpro v6, and doesn’t support certain nested selects, autoincrement fields, or embedded casts.
We would like to find an alternative to what we have. It could be another ODBC driver that works with Visaul Foxpro v9, or a complete alternative to ODBC. Is there such a thing?
Thanks.
(Talk about reuse, just answered this in another thread today)
If you are looking for an ODBC driver for VFP databases and tables you might consider looking at Advantage Database from iAnywhere. The have a local engine and a server engine. The local engine has the engine to access DBF data, but for your case, it also has an ODBC drive that works with VFP data up to and including the current Visual FoxPro 9. The local engine and the included ODBC driver are free.
