I did find the solution to the problem. On 64-bit Win 7 (and I suppose in Server 2008) you can set application pool to "Enable 32-bit Applications". It is a simple property to set up. And it works. I am replying with the solution to you since you will undoubtedly remember the solution and help someone else in this predicament, while I will forget today after lunch <g>.

>>I can't seem to make the Win 7 64 bit recognize that VFP Ole DB driver is installed. When I check from within VFP 9 command window I can see that the driver is installed. But when I use this driver from my ASP.NET application the message I get is that the driver is not installed. I realize that the Ole Db driver is 32 bit; is this the reason? Can it be still done?
