How To Know if VFP for Mac Uses PPC or 68K ODBC Driver

ID: Q150790

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, version 3.0b

SUMMARY

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for the Macintosh development environment is designed to run on a Macintosh PowerPC. However, the professional edition of Visual FoxPro for Macintosh allows development of applications that run on a Macintosh with a 68k processor. When developing applications that access remote data via ODBC, it is important to understand which versions of the ODBC drivers are required by both the development environment and distributed applications.

MORE INFORMATION

Because the Visual FoxPro development environment only runs on a Macintosh PowerPC, the appropriate PowerPC ODBC driver must be installed to access remote data.

When distributing a PowerPC version of an application, the same ODBC driver used during development is used with the distributed application. However, when distributing a 68k version of an application, a separate 68k ODBC driver must be used.
