Al,
he's saying a 64-bit non-VFP app running on Vista is unable to access VFP data, which was news to me.If the MS VFP OLEDB driver was the only way to access VFP data, I'd agree. But it isn't. Example:
http://codebase.com/products/64-bit/I referred to etecnologica as a company already accessing dbfs by one of these alternatives.
What I was trying to say is that MS's decision not to create 64-bit drivers for dbfs or mdbs is not a kiss of death for dbfs if people seriously want to use them in 64-bit. Sorry if I wasn't clear.
I'd also observe that SQL Server WILL soon run in 32-bit mode. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
