Heya,

I'm trying to connect to a FoxPro DBF database using a system DSN and the .NET ODBC drivers. It works well on two of my WindowsXP machines, but will not work on the bosses machine, even though the environments *look* identical. Has anyone had any trouble with ODBC and FoxPro from .NET? When I connect from his machine it says the database connection is Closed.

Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kevin,

Be sure you have the latest FoxPro and Visual FoxPro ODBC driver, available
from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/downloads/updates/default.aspx. It's
version 6.1.8629.1.

Hi Cindy,

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I am still receiving the same error. In fact, one of the database files that was working is no longer returning any rows with the newer drivers. As I see it, it is an overall problem of not having specifically the correct driver and connection string, so I was bound to hit this issue in the field.

Do you know of a way of identifying precisely what version of a database file I have? Any other suggestions on what I should try?

Scratch that. Looks like it is working and I was just choosing the incorrect database (among other things).
