Clarification regarding foxpro 6.0

[Sow]

Hai,

I developed an applicaion in VB 6.0 with foxpro 6.0 as backend. I also
created package using package and deployment wizard. My package contain
mdac_typ exe. I copied all the table in separate folder names as
database. Now i want to install this to our vendor machine which runs
win 2000 and xp and not having any foxpro drivers. Say i want to
install and copy the database folder in the server, and all the other
users of our vendor should run the exe which resides in the server and
data enter which is suppose to be stored in the database. Now what the
major thing i have to do for install my exe. Install this package is
more than enough(mdac_type is enough) or i have to install any foxpro
drivers additionally. Please suggest me.

Since it's VFP6, you can use the VFP ODBC driver.

This KB article has a link to it in it:

though you may need a later version of the MDAC then what they describe. I
think the latest version that had the VFP ODBC driver in it was 2.5 or to
2.6, I know it was no longer included in the more recent versions. You can
also use the OLE DB driver from VFP7, 8 or 9.

Just to add, the latest VFP ODBC driver is downloadable from
msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/downloads/updates/odbc . It hasn't been included
in MDAC for quite a while as Fred said.

You can use the VFPODBC driver or the new VFPOLEDB driver version 9,
downloadable from Microsoft doenloads.

Sow,

As an easier alternative with VFP6, you can put the VFP runtime files
[vfp6r.dll,vfp6renu.dll, & vfp6t.dll and msvcr70.dll] on the server. The
various users should not need to install anything but only need to create a
desktop shortcut to the executable file on the server.
