You installed the ODBC stuff; did you also install the SQL*Net stuff?
What about the network protocol stack (TCP/IP in most cases)?
Can you use the Oracle tools to see the data source? If so, then this
is a FoxPro <-> SQL*Net problem. If not, then it's a SQL*Net (locally)
<-> SQL*Net (server) problem.
