Hi Cetin,
Thank you for you help.
I spent a lot of time yesterday reading other forums , such as
www.dbforums.com, p2p.wrox.com,
www.winnetmag.com ... and I found not less then 10 exactly the same questions, but no one exact answer.
Of couse I checked the existents of vfpoledb.dll, and downloaded new version of it,
downloaded MDAC 2.8, VFPODBC.msi - no help.
but i will keep trying,
thanks again .
Mariam
