Hi All,
Can anyone tell me what the key to getting OBDC to work in XP?
I have downloaded and installed the files that are supposed to install the VFP OBDC Drivers that do not come standard in XP. Thought they were supposed to be installed from Word 2000, but evidently they werenot. Maybe only from Office 2000.
However, small VFP table of names and addresses to be used by a Word document produces the following error message.
'Cannot open the data source. The data source may not be in supported format or a required component of the application is missing.'

Anyone got a clue to guide me to get this (what used to be a simple process in W98 SE and W2k) working in XP?

Thanks in advance
Don Wobig
