Hi Brad,

The ODBC driver will need to be installed on each client machine when you do your regular install. You can read the Client-Server chapters in the VFP Help for how to get started. You'll want to become competent with remote views and SQL Pass-through.

Lets start at the beginning - have you successfully installed the driver on your machine and set up a datasource to it? If not, I'll describe the process; otherwise I can begin with an outline of what happens inside VFP.
