Ashley,

Checking the ODBC option in the setup wizard installs the ODBC driver but does not create a datasource. To do this you can use the ODBC API. This process is described in the VFP knowledge base at http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q142/2/16.asp.

>Ive got a Fox app that uses an ODBC link into an Access dataabse. This has been set up in the ODBC32 administrator as a new user defined link rather than just changing the standard access driver to point to the access database that I want to use.
>
>When I come to make the distibution disks up through the setup wizard I check the ODBC option and include only the Access drivers for distribution, at this point my user defined link does not show up on the list. Consequently when I install my app on a test machine, low and behold my link is missing from the ODBC list.
