>>>>>Hi everybody,

>>>>>I have a customer who wants to get information from VFP database using JAVA and ODBC driver. He asked me for the Database ID. I don't know what to give him. Any suggestions on what is the connection he should use from Java getting to VFP database? I presume that once he has a connection he can call VFP database using SQL command and get the data, right?

>>I saw somewhere (Unfortunately I can't remember right now) some 3th party ODBC for VFP. The company claims that it works woth VFP9, but I never tested it though.

>Thank you. I don't use the VFP9-specific features (AUTOINIC, BLOB), so it should be fine.
