foxpro tables. updated to mdac 2.8. keep getting
message "unknown error". Any ideas?

Hi Jaime,

The last MDAC with the FoxPro and Visual FoxPro ODBC driver was version 2.5.
You can download it from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/downloads/updates/default.aspx.

Over the years there have been some features added to FoxPro tables. When a
table has features that were added in VFP7 or VFP8 then it can't be read
using the ODBC driver. (A table created in VFP7 or 8 but not having any of
the new features will be readable.)

To read tables with the newer features, as well as tables in older formats,
use the OLE DB provider, downloadable from the above link.
