"Nogginware" has a product that called "RemoteDB Gateway Version 2.2" that claims to provide a proxy for file based ODBC divers across the network.

P.S. The VFP ODBC driver is very limited. The interpreter embedded in it is not the standard VFP interpreter and the data engine does not optimize like VFP. "SELECT max(column) from table into array la", where column is indexed and table has 300,000 rows, takes miliseconds on VFP and over 10 minutes in VFP ODBC. Apparently only the where clause is optimizable.
