Hello Cetin,

It's been quite a long time now! I haven't been touching VFP for a while : very busy with C projects and Web projects (involving PHP).

Here's what I need to do: from a PHP script, I need to interact with VFP 9 data files. The client said that it needs to be working with ODBC and not with ADO (I don't know why).

But whatever way I am using, it seems that I am always blocked somewhere along the road.

Should you use ASP .NET, Cetin, how would you interact with VFP databases then (If I see how it works with ASP .NET, I will be able to extrapolate it to PHP)? Even If I need to use VFPOLEDB ...
