Where would I look for the ODBC driver? The only thing I have found was on the lotus web site and it was named NoteSQL this doesnt seem to be what I am looking for . Any Ideas?

>>Help please!!!!!!
>>Is there any way to pull data from a Lotus Notes NSF file without having a lotus client on the users machine? I've tried using the ODBC driver from lotus but it said that I needed to have a lotus client installed. What I want to do is write a report based on the data by using VFP remote query/view. Any help would be great. The notes data is on a network.
