Bigdad,
VFP and XP are quite compatible - I've been using both on almost a daily basis since last October 25th!

It possible you'll need to explicitly load the lastest (last) VFP ODBC driver files on the XP system. Since these files where last included with MDAC 2.5 and XP comes with MDAC 2.7 installed, you'll need to go to

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/downloads/odbc.asp

and get the necessary files.

First of all I want to say thank´s you fot your help.

I did your suggestion, I downloaded the MDAC 2.7 an installed in my machine but the Odbc conections not work yet. I insert a new register or change someone and the new value is not record. In my others machine this work very good but in my machine with Win XP the conetion not work.

If some body can help me please tell me how

I believe Rick is try to say that MDAC 2.7 does NOT have the VFP ODBC driver in it. You need to go to the link he provided above and download the VFP ODBC driver, then install it on your Windows XP machine.

Good luck,

Ian

Thanks Ian, I always try to be clear, but I guess no matter how you write it, it's always possible to misinterpret it!
