>>>Hi. I feel a bit lost on this one. One of my clients wants to update data in a database stored "in the cloud", with Azure.
>>>It seems the database server is MySQL.
>>>How is the connection with Visual FoxPro set up? Is there a way to access the data with anything resembling a remote view? How do I set up an ODBC connection - or do I even need one?
>>>What additional information does my client need to find out about the service to which he subscribed?

>>You can connect through ODBC.
>>You just have to use proper server name (something like: yourdb.azure.com)
