Invisible Foxpro Table ODBC connection

[Guest]

I have succeeded in linking a certain FoxPro table in the past but I am
having problems doing it today.

When I set up the ODBC link and browse to find the folder that holds the
foxpro tables, I can find the table listed. . . but when I try to select that
table to link, it is missing from the list! It appears all of the other
tables in that file are listed but the one I want seems to be invisible. Does
anyone have an idea of why this is happening?

David,

In order to be able to "File > Get External Data > Link Tables" to link to your filemaker table using the filemakerpro odbc driver ,
it must be open in Foxpro, and you much have the filemaker's 'Local Data Access Companion' plugin installed and turned on.

Good luck,

Malcolm,
Thanks for your response, however I have everything necessary in place... I
have access to all of the other FoxPro tables in the folder and the table I'm
trying to set up a new link to is still linked in another application and has
no problem. So why is it invisible now? I'm absolutely bamboozled on this!
