>>Can I use Visual FoxPro 3.0 Database tables in Microsoft Word 6.0 using ODBC? I need to generate a complex report and decided that using Word was the way to go (lots of charts, graphs, tables and long winded explanations). The problem is that Visual FoxPro doesn't seem to friendly when it comes to sharing its data with anyone! A nice simple approach is what I need. I'm new to Visual FoxPro so be gentle.

I know of the files you mention, however the problem seems to be that the ODBC drivers available only work for 32-bit stuff and Word 6.0 is 16-bit. Word will not use the 32-bit ODBC driver.
I can: "COPY TO TYPE FOX2X" and use the 16-bit ODBC driver. This works well. But this seems like a big waste of time and energy. Is there a 16-bit ODBC driver for Visual FoxPro 3.0?

Thanks,
Greg
