Thank you for your message. I believe that the server where I need to install the driver is a virtual server so if I understand correctly my application will be the only one running. If that is the case, I will ask the admin person if they would let me to enable configure IIS to run only 32-bi applications. This is according to the link that Server posted. If this does not work, I don't know what I will do, yet. But if you find out the name of the VFP driver that Crystal uses, I would appreciate you letting me know. Than I can find out the price and decide if I will go for it.

Again, thank you for your help.

I can't get on our 2008 server that has it installed right now to find the name for you; but it is a company that sells drivers. Not that cheaply, IIRC, but only you can decide whether it's worth it. Anyway, it works for us (we munge our data into a temporary DBC with temporary DBF's, and it takes them in just fine).
