The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.6

SYMPTOMS

If the wrong file is selected when you are prompted with the message, "Where is FPSQL.FLL?," FoxPro displays the following error message:

   Line Number: 90
   Program: GO_ON
   Error: File DBCONNECT.PRG does not exist.
   Source: ...

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FoxPro version 2.6 for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. Verify that the Connectivity Kit has been installed. The Windows Control Panel should contain an ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) icon.

  2. Rename the FPSQL.FLL file located in the main FoxPro directory (usually FPW26) to TEST.FLL.

  3. Start FoxPro.

  4. In the Command window, type "SET RESOURCE OFF" (without the quotation marks).

  5. USE the resource file (usually FOXUSER.DBF in the main FoxPro directory).

  6. Using BROWSE, locate and delete the record containing "CK Library" (without the quotation marks) in the NAME field.

    NOTE: This record will not exist if the Client-Server Query Wizard hasn't been run previously with this resource file.

  7. PACK the resource file.

  8. Type the following in the Command window:

    CLOSE DATA SET RESOURCE ON

  9. From the Run menu, choose Wizard, and then choose All.

  10. Select the Client-Server Query Wizard, and then choose Next.

  11. When prompted for the location of FPSQL.FLL, select another file, such as DRIVER2.FLL. Choose Open.

  12. In the "Client-Server Query Wizard - Step 1 of 7" dialog box, choose Next.

    A dialog box containing the error message displays.

  13. Choose OK to return to the Command window.

NOTE: Remember to rename the TEST.FLL file located in the main FoxPro directory (usually FPW26) back to FPSQL.FLL.
