Sorin, I did find that option in the ValuPack and installed the drivers.
Now we get the 32bit ODBC icon in the control panel. The driver list shows
dBase Files, FoxPro Files, Visual FoxPro Database, and VFP Tables among
others. Unfortunately this seemed to have no effect on the datasources
list which is presented in Word. Only installing the Office 97 Prof. version
changed that datasource list to include .DBF files as an option.
