Connecting to a FoxPro Database

Engaged ,
Jun 17, 2008 Jun 17, 2008
I have been connecting to a FoxPro database for years now with the ODBC Connector. It works OK, but would like to know if there is a JDBC connector available these days. My searches have uncovered ODBC-JDBC Bridges, but I am not sure if that buys me anything.

What is the current standard for connecting CF 7.02 to a FoxPro data directory?

I know that FoxPro used to be Datasource list back in CF5, but recollecting on a case that I had, we had to create an ODBC-JDBC Bridge using the Jadozoom Drivers. It's included on the MX (6-7) package. So to answer your question, there is no standard for connecting MX to FoxPro

This is an old technote that deals with an old Access DB, but the solution could be applied to FoxPro - http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=2d2a7a19

recently i had the problem with mx8.
to connect to foxpro tables on other machines on the network.
All my efforts with odbc failed, so i wonder how you managed it in the past. Are your dbf-files on the same machine?
