Default Linked Server for FoxPro free table not connecting

Hi all,

Here's my situation. I have a linked server set up to connect to a
foxpro free table directory. However, it is not showing the tables.
I'm not getting any error. The DSN I have created works when I use it
in Access. So I have elimated that the DSN is set up wrong. The
tables can be connected when I connect to the Development machine.
The same set up is not showning the tables in the production machine.
The only difference between the two machines that I can see is that
the dev machine is running windows server 2000 and the production
machine is on windows NT server. Since I can hit the tables in
Access, I don't think anything is corrupted. Anyone have any
suggestions?

Default Re: Linked Server for FoxPro free table not connecting

Would there be a problem with the latest VFP ODBC driver on the
problem machine if I can get the data using the same driver in Access?
I thought the machine with the SQL server manager would be using the
driver rather than the target machine. Is this correct?

Thanks for helping.
