Thanks a lot!

>To start with go to the UT downloads, search on my last name (McCasland) and download the ODBC file. Second, you can get untold "SQLCONNECT" help in the VFP forum which will apply to connecting to Oracle from VFP.

>>>First you need to install a Client from Oracle including the Windows Interfaces component (only done on a Custom Client install). Then you can use the ORacle ODBC driver or the Microsoft ODBC for Oracle driver that is typically installed with the MDAC kits (Microsoft Data Access Components) I think.

>>>Create a DSN found in the ODBC Data Sources under Administrative Tools. I also think I have an ODBC file in the UT downloads here that I developed for connecting using VFP.
