Excel 2003 Database Driver Visual FoxPro 7 on Server 2003.

[Guest]

I have Excell 2003 (office 2003 Enterprise Edition) installed on Server 2003.
However when I tried to get external data from a database and use the Foxpro
ODBC driver, it tells me to go to the microsoft web site to install it,
howerver the microsoft web site does not have a driver to install for Server
2003.

I had Office 2002 with the same problem, when I try to get external data,
the Foxpro driver does not show up.

In Control panel/Administrative tools, the ODBC list of drivers does show
the FoxPro database, when I try to use it, it tells me to get the driver from
the microsoft web site.

How do I use this. I am able to use this on Windows 2000 prof, excel 200
with no problem.

Thanks.

Hi

You have to go to Microsoft's Visual FoxPro site (Bill did buy FoxPro a
couple of years ago).

Hi SmithJones,

You can get the latest FoxPro and Visual FoxPro ODBC drivers and OLE DB data
provider from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/downloads/updates/default.aspx. The driver
installed with Windows 2000 (but not with XP or Server 2003) which is why
you were ok on your Win2K machine.
