Hi Mark:
I can access the Computerease datafiles from Access,however, I wanted to eliminated the third step and go directly from Fox to connect to the computerease datafiles. As you mention earlier that I can get to Access datafiles from VFP app. the same way I do with Fox. Correct me if I am worng. (1). Just use the Microsoft Access ODBC Driver to create a DSN in the ODBC then create a connection in the VFP DBC . Is the process same as createing in VFP by establishing Sql connection and SQL passthrough.

Thanks Mark.
MA
