On Win2000 pro, you can selet Administrative tools, Data Sources (ODBC), 'add' - and close to the bottom there is a selection for Microsoft Visual Foxpro Driver - then in the setup dialog there is a selection: 'Database type' - one of the selections is Visual FoxPro database (DBC). - wouldn't this work ok?
The other option is 'Free Table directory". It would be easy for me to create a free table with updated values periodically if perl could access it. (would be nice if perl could write to it also) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ted Roche" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, July 17, 2006 3:24 AM Subject: Re: Need suggestions for Win/apache2 access to native fox data vfp9 On 7/16/06, Ken McGinnis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I would like to look this stuff up in a Fox database and interact with a vfp9 > program running on the same machine as I am a good > fox programmer (since 1988), but a beginner with perl and it is frustrating > to get anything done. > Echoing Leland's thoughts, you've got the "A" and the "P" of WAMP, it's time to look at the "M" as in MySQL (or Postgres, but that screws up the acronym). VFP is a lot better at working with any database than VFP is as being a database provider. With ODBC trapped in the VFP6 world. I think you'd rather use an ODBC driver in VFP with remote views or cursoradaptors than to figure out how Perl support OLEDB. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
