Article ID: Q148407

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0 and 3.0b

SYMPTOMS

The error message "Cannot load ODBC Library odbc32.dll" appears when you perform ODBC related tasks.

CAUSE

This message can be caused by a missing or old version of the Odbc32.dll file. If this file already exists at the time Visual FoxPro is installed, it won't be overwritten.

RESOLUTION

Make sure you are using the version shipped with Visual FoxPro. The file can be found in the Windows System directory and should have the following properties:

Visual FoxPro    Number
Version          of Bytes     Last Modified/Created

3.0              64,512       11/09/94  1:00am
3.0b             64,512       11/09/94  1:00am

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
