This has been discussed before. Sorry I can't point you to a specific thread.

Using a DSN on a mapped network drive does not work reliably. However, you can access a table natively (i.e. USE ) through a VFP COM component and return the results to your ASP page.

>I have a file server that has FoxPro 2.6 tables on it. I need to access those tables from the web server via an ASP page. The web server and file server are in the same domain and I made sure that I opened up the security all the way. For testing purposes I gave the IUSR_computername full access rights to the directory where the files are located. I setup an ODBC DSN that points to a mapped drive where the FoxPro tables are located. I know that this path is correct. However, when I try and open a recordset in my ASP page to access the FoxPro tables it gives me this error:
