Thanks for the link Michael! I've had an ISP that supports VFP for years. This particular ISP situation I inherited. The point of the thread wasn't about the ISP. It's about the constant negative effects the dysfunctional MS and VFP relationship has on VFP developers.

>Check with DNG Solutions (www.dngsolutions.net). They support VFP (and WebConnect) and are experienced in helping you set it up correctly.

>>Anyone run into problems using VFP data on an ISP http://www.uplinkearth.com/ server? I am doing some volunteer ASP.NET development using a VFP database. Planned on moving the SQL Server soon but not now.
>>
>>How do I convince a full-blown Microsoft ISP shop to support a Microsoft product? Should VFP be so shamed by Microsoft in the eyes of their customers that they don't even acknowledge Visual FoxPro as a Microsoft product? Does this seem ridiculous for such a mature, high-performance product?
>>
>>Could someone from Microsoft please tell me why this is? Can anyone?
>>
>>Better yet... Can someone at Microsoft tell http://www.uplinkearth.com/ that Visual FoxPro is a Microsoft product and a very good one at that. Is this too much to ask? I mean what the f... is going on in Remond Washington?

>>> Hello Support,
>>> I get the same message again when writing to the VFP database.
>>> The error is :
>>> Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
>>> [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]Cannot update the cursor.
>>> It was fixed on the 9th of March. I copied the message below.
