Nov 24, 2010. Notes to my future self on how to get 32-bit ODBC drivers installed on 64-bit Windows. Visual FoxPro, a 32-bit application, runs just fine on 64-bit machines. Visual FoxPro cannot use 64-bit. The 32-bit drivers for SQL Server come with Windows 7 x64, so you don't have to download them. I was having a similar issue and found the MSI installer for the ODBC driver here: Installed it on Windows 10 and is working properly.
Driver can be downloaded here. The VFPODBC driver is no longer supported Yes, the driver is not supported for years already but according to the still works.. Thanks for updating this, Pavel, but as of now ( 13:00 CET) the download is removed. The download link still works You can still get at it via extraction from the VFP9 Runtime installer you can find at Extract it by calling with the /X option: VFP9SP2RT. Spyro The Dragon Ps2 Iso Maker. exe /X. DEVART company released new set of ODBC drivers for various platforms as, SQL Server,, SQLite, Firebird, Interbase, Oracle.
They work on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux both on 32 and 64 bits., SQLite, Interbase and Firebird ODBC drivers were tested with 9 and worked fine. Other drivers had some problems which will be fixed in a future version. Here is a drivers page You may use the following download links to receive those drivers: - (works!) (works!) (works!)

(works!) (works!) (works!) (works!) Stuff you can and cannot do with the VFP ODBC driver. Can • Use VFP data operations like Insert, Update, Delete. • Referential integrity triggers as implemented by the RI builder are supported.
• There are other supported commands (List?) • Use views, including nested views. • CREATE TABLE • Word97 and Excel97 can read.dbf files, you just need to download the file as described in KB article. • Get column definitions for an individual table, non-parameterized view, or the DBC() with SQLCOLUMNS(). You can join the DBC() to itself to get all column names or index names. E.g., SQLEXEC(lnHandle, 'SELECT d1.objectname AS table_name, d2.objectname AS field_name FROM DBC() d1 JOIN DBC() d2 ON d1.objectid = d2.parentid WHERE objecttype = 'Table' AND d2.objecttype = 'Field' ORDER BY objectname') -- • You can use default field values across ODBC. I've tested a function call as Default value and a (date) rule I had put into a as a field rule.
I tested with MSQuery from Excel. I have also tested several default values in a remote VFP database which call functions/procedures stored in the remote VFP DB container. Front end was VFP connecting via VFP ODBC to VFP remote database.
-- • Anything else? Can't • The VFP ODBC Driver is stuck in a VFP 6-level world, therefore there's no support for AutoInc field type (introduced in VFP 8), VarChar (introduced in VFP 9), DBC events (introduced in VFP 7), etc. In fact, you can't access a DBC or its tables at all through ODBC if DBC events are turned on for that DBC.
• No support for DBC or table maintenance operations like CREATE DATABASE, or INDEX ON, or PACK, etc. • No support for calling stored procedures either explicitly or implicitly. BUT you may call SPs indirectly via Trigger on some temporary table created for this purpose. -- • You can't use default field values across ODBC.
-- Yes you can. I've tested a function call as Default value and a (date) rule I had put into a as a field rule. I tested with MSQuery from Excel. I have also tested several default values in a remote VFP database which call functions/procvedures stored in the remote VFP DB container. Front end was VFP connecting via VFP ODBC to VFP remote database.
-- • Use nested views across multiple.DBCs if.DBCs exist in separate directories. • Use parameterized views -- This is solved since the first release of Version 6 of the VFP ODBC driver -- You mean that other applications (like ) can open a VFP parameterized view now? • Store character strings in Memo fields limited to 254 / 255 bytes. -- I have successfully bound a RTF control to a memo field in a remote VFP database. Displayed word files as icons etc. I do not think there is a limitation.
--.• Cold Fusion programmers here claim that INSERT requires complete field list for table. Is this what is meant above by failure to support default values? • Get a list of tables in the DBC using SQLTABLES() - a 'Function sequence error' is thrown. -- Follow up to this: This may have been due to an older ODBC driver. With at least v.6.00.8428 it works.
It may work earlier, but I don't know how much earlier. -- tw • Data is cached until ODBC connection closes, cannot reuse ODBC connection, see, large performance hit This is only true if VFP tables are the data source.
Not true for SQL back ends. • Use set century to.
You may solve it same way as stored procedures -- • Anything else? What alternate methods are folks using for merging data into Word documents?: I have decided to 'bail' and use an ASCII CSV file instead. My formletter object takes the result of a SQL and (used to) create a table with which to merge. I changed it to create a Cursor, and do a 'Copy to xx type CSV'.
Now I just hope that MS doesn't mess up how Word works with _that_ type of file! I've been using COPY TO.
TYPE XL5 since Word users typically have Excel and this permits browsing and pre-merge eyeballing, which can be important to some. -- I have also used the COPY TO. The advantage of creating one of these from a temporary cursor vs. A DBF is you can retain long field names (which become column headers in row 1) without having to create a temp DBC. The downside to both of these approaches, I believe, is that memo fields can't be dealt with. I could be wrong, haven't tried in a while.
-- Something else that is odd about Word merges with Excel: This is one of those do as we say not as we do things from Microsoft - If you look at the status messages in Word97 during a merge with Excel you see it is establishing a DDE connection! What's up with that? Don't know if this is still the case in Office 2000 -- See KB Article PRB: ODBC Driver Replaced by ODBC Driver.(TomPiper passed this along in CIS VFP Forum) -- Also BUG:Cannot Export or Open Linked Tables Using Latest ODBC Driver (6.0.8428.0) The help file Drvvfp.hlp can be found in the system directory. Among other good information, this file documents commands not supported by the ODBC 6.0 driver.
One thing I have not been able to do with the latest ODBC driver, is to save the contents of a TEXTAREA to a memo field if the RETURN key is hit anywhere inside the TEXTAREA. The ODBC driver chokes on CRLF's! This is not an issue when using a VFP COM Server like in WC, only through the ODBC driver.
Has anyone else seen this, What kind of solution is there? -- Have you tried stripping the CRLF's by replacing them with some literal string ([CRLF]) and visa versa at the appropriate times? -Brett A good solution is to replace the CRLF (chr10) with chr13-Laith I was able to use the chr function in the sql. Example: insert into mytable (mymemo) values ('this is'+chr(13)+'a test'); Trying the above solution (chr13) gave me extra carriage returns each time I updated the field - For some reason using: to strip CRLFs all together worked-Mike Note: Has anyone run into performance issues with VFP ODBC 2.5 driver running under MDAC 2.6? Especially going over a network. Just updated a client to MDAC 2.7 and all seems zippy now. ODBC Driver version is the same.
-- There is also the OLE DB provider for VFP, available with VS.NET. -- Is the included in the VS.NET Beta? Has anyone used it? If so, I'm wondering if we will be able to access all the views in our.DBC's - the ODBC driver had problems publishing more than 20 or 30 views in the.DBC - this was always a big problem for us. -- See: The new VFP ODBC Driver released as part of the Advantage Database Server Version 9. Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire 2005 In Hindi Free Download. 0 (Beta) is fully compatible with VFP 9.0 Data. You can download the driver from the Advantage website here: The Advantage Database Server has other capabilities, but if you need an updated ODBC driver for VFP, this one appears to work really well and (while the product is in Beta anyway) is free.
Posted Jan.2008. Unless I misunderstand, the Advantage ODBC driver insists on finding a running instance of the advantage server, so you not only have to install their odbc driver, but also their server. Or perhaps I've mis-understood the errors I was getting. -- You need to configure the datasource as 'local server' instead of the default which is 'remote'. Then you do not need the Advantage server.
-- You might want to watch by J. Mullin, R & D Manager for Advantage. -- If you set the datasource up to use 'local server' instead of 'remote server' (which is the default) you do not need to install the server.
You don't get the benefits of client/server access, but it is a good starting point. -- Another thing to watch out: The ADS ODBC-driver cannot execute any DBC-features like Trigger. It also omits Defaultvalues when adding new records. In short: since it cannot run code, everything based on doesn't work.
Thus: Handle with care in a real! I'm trying to install the driver on XP SP2. I'm getting Error 1316. A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file C: VFPODBC[1].msi. -- I figured it out, updating this to provide how I solved the problem.
The.msi installer looks for a file with [1] in the name, in the same directory where you ran it from, so I simply renamed the file. In order for it to actually reinstall, I had to rename the VFPODBC.dll file in my system32 directory. It now works fine, albeit for.
MS Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver This driver is installed in MS Windows as part of operating system. The correct version is installed in Windows 98, ME and 2000. There is an error in the newer installations of MS Windows where the old driver from 1998 is installed.
That is why it is necessary to install this correct version of Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver. This driver is used to read/write dbf files.
