Installation, Setup and Configuration
Peter,
It appears that the class requires the VFP ODBC driver to be installed. The VFP ODBC driver is no longer a part of Microsoft Data Access Components installation since about version 2.5 and does not come installed with Windows. IMO, yet another indication of VFP step-child status at Microsoft. You have to download the VFP odbc driver from Microsoft and install it on any computer that requires it.
