Hello,

I try to connect BOARD to Winbiz that has a dbf file type. Basically it is a Fox Pro database. Is there somebody who has experience with this?

Thank you and best regards

Marcel

    Hi Marcel Bila,

     

    although I don't have experience with this (my last experience with FoxPro is pretty much outdated--before BOARD even existed), I'd like to propose you'd look here Using the Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver | Microsoft Docs  for further information.

    Using an ODBC datasource should be the right way to connect to BOARD.

     

    Kind Regards,

    Helmut

    Hi Helmut Heimann ,

     

    Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately Micorsoft prodides only 32 bits driver and we need a 64 bits. There are some commercial ODBC driver around the Internet. I will try to find something.

     

    Kind regards,

    Marcel

    Hello Marcel,

     

    Looks like that the db you are trying to connect to has no 64 bits drivers.

    You may try to create a staging area with an old version of sqlExpress 32 bit and read from there with a SQL 64 bit driver
