Install the latest (free) ODBC drivers form MS. I have posted the internet address on previous threads this year. Just search on ODBC. Unfortunately, you will have to install these on each machine. Or put them on a network drive and instruct the users how to install them (they will have to do a custom install because MS did not select Oracle as one of the drivers to install by default).
I also have an article in KB under Client/Server on connecting VFP to Oracle and programmatically creating an ODBC DSN via VFP.
