I have installed the latest driver downloaded directly from microsoft, and I have found the driver .dll file in windows explorer. However, when I attempt to add the data connection via ODBC Data Sources (32-bit), the driver does not come up in the available list.
Vfp Odbc Driver Windows 7 64 Bit
I've installed Visual FoxPro driver from this link on my 64 Bit Windows 7 Home Premium OS and tried to register vfpoledb.dll using REGSVR32. I could able to register this dll but when run my application which accesses VFP database is throwing the following error:System.InvalidOperationException: The 'VFPOLEDB.1' provider is not registered on the local machine.
The same application is working fine in 32 bit Windows 7 Home Premium OS without any issues. I have googled for 64 bit VFP driver and found out that there are no VFP drivers for 64 bit OS from this link. Kindly help me to resolve this issue.
The system requirements for installation provide the minimum operating system and disk space needed to successfully install the driver. After you've installed the driver, you can select the specific application software you want to use to access Visual FoxPro data.
Visual FoxPro ODBC driver was last updated around VFP6 SP3. It supports a subset of VFP 6.0 features but not any new ones introduced in VFP7 and later. See VFP 6.0 Help file and Unsupported Visual FoxPro Commands and Functions (Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver) for additional information. It'll not recognize any tables that use VFP7 and later new features and either ignore them or give an error when trying to access them.
The VFP ODBC Driver can be installed under 64-bit Windows but 64-bit applications cannot access VFP ODBC driver because it comes only in 32-bit version. For 32-bit applications under 64-bit Windows there's ODBC Data Source Administrator for the 32-bit ODBC drivers %systemdrive%\Windows\SysWoW64\odbcad32.exe (usually C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe).
I am from Guatemala in Central America. A very important data base for my company is in visual fox free tables. I just migrated from windows xp to windows 7. So, You saved me a lot of work. God bless you.
We have been using VFP 9 (SP1) on Windows 7 for years. The only issue I have had is there is not an Oracle ODBC driver for Windows 7 that will talk to older Oracle databases (we have a 9i database). No problems with newer versions (we have an 11g database as well)
1. Create an ODBC data source :a. Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools and open Data Sources ODBC. -- if you're using Windows 64 bit, thentype odbcad32.exe in the Search boxb. Click on the System DSN tab and click the Add button.c. Select SQL Server from the list (usually the last entry)d. Click Finish.2. Enter some name into the name box and pull down the Server list and select (local) or the server namewhere SQL and the data are installed. Click Next.3. Select the SQL Server authentication radio button.a. If this is not the server.1. Click on the Client Configuration button.2. If necessary, change the Network Library radio button selection from Named Pipes to TCP/IP andclick OK.4. Enter a username and password of uID and password and click Next. For testing purposes you canalso use another known account in SQL Server, such as SA.5. Uncheck Use ANSI quoted identifiers and click Next and then Finish.6. Click on Test Data Source and confirm the test completed successfully.
The work around I employed was using Windows 7's XPMode. It works great. I installed CR and setup the ODBC driver on the Virual Machine. The Crystal Report Application is published automatically to Window 7's Menu. When you click on the Crystal Reports shortcut in Windows 7, the application starts immediately because the Virual Machine is usually in hibernation.
New Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate 64. I installed the VFP ODBC driver but it is not showing up under ODBC Management. I've done this as admin, and rebooted. When checking the registry it does not show up, only SQL. I've typically run reports via Access against the VFP database. Am I out of luck on this system because it is 64 bit?
Native connection to traditional databases and cloud-based services from Visual FoxPro using an ODBC driver. No need to use client software to establish Visual FoxPro ODBC connection and fetch your sales figures table from databases such as Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, or cloud services such as Salesforce, QuickBooks, or Zoho CRM on Windows, macOS, and Linux - both 32- and 64-bit.
Devart ODBC drivers use SSL / SSH and HTTPS tunneling to protect user data as it flows between a remote server and Visual FoxPro over the Internet. Tunneling allows you to send communications securely between machines.
We offer you optimal data access by means of ODBC and native database client libraries. However, you can avoid using client libraries, since our ODBC drivers are able to connect via the native protocol directly without using client software at all.
Where ODBC is the the keyword to trigger the JDBC-ODBC invocation as detailed in the Single-Tier JDBC driver documentation, which is not in the connect string you provide ie jdbc:openlink://vpf9host/DSN=VisualFoxProDev , which should be jdbc:openlink://ODBC/DSN=VisualFoxProDev , I would expect.
This driver is installed in MS Windows as part of operating system. Thecorrect version is installed in Windows 98, ME and 2000. There is an error inthe newer installations of MS Windows where the old driver from 1998 isinstalled. That is why it is necessary to install this correct version of VisualFoxPro ODBC Driver. This driver is used to read/write dbf files.
Thanks for the answer, i have searched everywhere for a 64 bit visual fox pro driver but couldnt find one. Does anyone know where to get one? is there actually one or how else could i load/get my data from a visual fox pro database to power bi?
The system can not detect the presence of the Microsoft Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver on this PC. This driver is required to execute the DataScan Plus or CCH ClientRelate application. You may install this driver from your latest ProSystem fx Tax CD by launching the following command:
1. From the start\run command line, type: ?:\Misc\Fpdriver\Setup.exe (where ? is the drive letter for your CD reader).2. Reboot your PC. You may now access the DataScan Plus or CCH ClientRelate application.
The VFP OleDb driver is old, as is FoxPro and it hasn't been updated since FoxPro was last updated around 2009. The driver is also 32 bit which is the cause of most common problems you are likely to run into these days as host applications tend to be 64 bit by default.
Make sure you install the driver and then also make sure you restart the host application that is using the driver, because the registration may not be visible until the application refreshes its environment. If you're running a Web application, you'll want to restart the Application Pool that hosts your site.
The Visual FoxPro OleDb driver is a 32 bit component and it only works inside of a 32 bit application. Most applications these days are 64 bit by default, and that simply won't work with the VFP OleDb driver.
The reason you see this message even if the driver is installed is because it's not registered in the 64 bit registry where a 64 bit application looks for it. The error message is very misleading because the driver is installed, but the host application is not seeing it due to the bitness mismatch.
It's easy to go down the wrong rabbit hole trying to fix a non-existing driver install problem. Ask me how I know and how I wasted well over an hour in the wrong direction trying to check out the VFP OleDb installation. ??
But even if the driver could be found by the 64 bit application, it still wouldn't work as the VFP OleDb driver is a 32 bit InProcess COM component and you can't load a 32 bit COM component into a 64 bit process.
The older software components like the VFP OleDb driver become, the more likely the 32 bit only use case becomes an issue as more and more software now runs as 64 bit applications. Already plugins and integrations often can't use the VFP OleDb driver because the host applications no longer support 32 bit interfaces. Unfortunately there's no good solution to that problem.
However, if the host application is under your control, or you're running under IIS, you may still be able to switch the application to 32 bit to make it work, but regardless it may be better to look for other interfacing solutions. Unfortunately you'll be no better off with the VFP ODBC driver which also exists only as a 32 bit driver.
32 bit technology is on its last leg and the VFP OleDb provider is one of the 32 bit only components that on the very end of that leg and so both the VFP OleDb and ODBC drivers are unlikely to be used in new development that needs to interface with modern applications.
But if you're already using this driver most likely you're using it in a legacy application that is 32 bit and it can probably stay that way. The key part is making sure that you remember to run the host application in 32 bit. 2ff7e9595c
