Hi!

I am a newbie in Access. I am running Access 2003 and would like to be able to create links to Visual Foxpro9 tables using the VFP OleDB provider and not the ODBC drivers.

A few of my clients want to use the VFP9 tables in their reports but so far I have not been able to find a way to do it using OLEDB (except in a module with VBA code which I don't want).

I can do it using the ODBC but the problem is that ODBC driver does not recognise the VarChar fields in the tables.

I tried creating an Access project and then 'File --> Connections' but it does not display the 'Provider' tab to select which provider to use and by default assumes that SQL Server is the source database.

How can I get Access 2003 to allow me to select the OLEDB Provider?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
 
I am having this problem too... How did you solve it, i.e. to get Access to connect to the Foxpro tables...
