How to register VFPOLEDB.1?

[dsandlin]

I'm trying to access VFP tables from a C# project, using a connection string that contains "Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;". It works on one machine, but on another machine the same code produces an error that "Provider is not registered on the local machine." How do I make sure that the provider is registered?

I also posted this thread in the Data Access forum, but haven't gotten any replies, yet.

Thanks!

Well, I found the answer to my own question!

You can go to the Microsoft website and search for "VFPOLEDB.1". You will find a link to download the provider and an installation program that does the registration for you.
