Im gonna try a remote view but when i make it it says ...Connectivity error:{microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specifited

What is the type of remote table?
Is it VFP Table or you use some other DB?
If it is VFP table you don't have to use RV, You could use Local View and use full path to that table.
