I am unsuccessful at linking tables from a visual FoxPro database to MS Access 2010; however I have been able to import a table into Excel.
Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver, Free Download by Microsoft. Enables the interactions between third-party applications and Visual FoxPro.
- 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.
- Jun 12, 2018 Microsoft ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server is a single dynamic-link library (DLL) containing run-time support for applications using native-code APIs to connect to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, 2008, 2008 R2, SQL Server 2012, SQL Server 2014 and Windows Azure SQL Database. # Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9 run on Windows 10 THAT'S ABOUT VFP ITSELF, not.
- Latest VFP ODBC driver was installed in the ODBC Data Source Administrator. Based on what I saw when Googling for 'Visual Fox Pro ODBC driver', I'm quite sure I have the latest driver. However, I also note that Microsoft is encouraging users to abandon the ODBC driver and instead use the OLE driver. But I have no idea what to.
- 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.
I have download the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro 9.0 (C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual FoxPro OLE DB Provider) and excel reconices this but access doesn't?
These are the steps I took in Access:
Visual Foxpro Odbc Driver Windows 7
- External Data
- ODBC Database
- Link to the data source by createing a linked table
- Machine Data Source
- New
- Select a driver... Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver
- Finnish
- Error You must firt install the current version of the Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver...

In Excel I have recorded the a macro which shows the steps i did with the GUI, and it works:
Sub VFP()
'
' VFP Macro
With ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(SourceType:=0, Source:=Array( _
'OLEDB;Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;Data Source=C:TestNETDATATestS.DBC;Mode=Share Deny None;Extended Properties='';User';Mask Password=' _
, _
'False;Cache Authentication=False;Encrypt Password=False;Collating Sequence=MACHINE;DSN='';DELETED=True;CODEPAGE=1252;MVCOUNT=163' _
, _
'84;ENGINEBEHAVIOR=90;TABLEVALIDATE=3;REFRESH=5;VARCHARMAPPING=False;ANSI=True;REPROCESS=5' _
), Destination:=Range('$A$1')).QueryTable
.CommandType = xlCmdTable

End With
End Sub

I am not good at writing code, but is there a way to link all the VFP tables in MS Access through code, if the GUI doesn't work?
