In the Administrative Tools window, double-click Data Sources (ODBC), and then add a new ODBC data source for your FoxPro database or tables by selecting the appropriate Visual FoxPro driver.

Attached is his message. jack -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Debbie Elam Sent: Saturday, May 03, 2008 8:05 PM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [AccessD] ODBC Problems I am trying to import data from a really ancient Foxpro database. I was creating an ODBC connection and got an error. As the message suggested, I reinstalled the Foxpro driver. Now I get nothing when I try to connect to any ODBC data source. When I choose odBC the pop up just dissappears. I have tried reinstalling MDAC to no avail. I have also bought a repair utility that fails in the middle of working. Any ideas on how to repair this? I am using Access 2003 and XP sp2.
