Chapter 18: Installing ODBC Components
Installable ISAM (IISAM) driver and setup files for each of the Desktop Database Drivers are listed in the following table.
Driver | IISAM file | Setup file |
Microsoft Access (versions 2.0, 7.0, and 8.0) | None (included in Msjet40.dll) | None |
Microsoft Access (versions 1.x) | Msrd2x40.dll | None |
dBASE | Msxbde40.dll | Oddbse32.dll |
Microsoft Excel | Msexcl40.dll | Odexl32.dll |
Microsoft FoxPro | Vfpodbc.dll | Odfox32.dll |
Paradox | Mspbde40.dll | Odpdx32.dll |
Text | Mstext40.dll | Odtext32.dll |
Note The ODBC Desktop Database Drivers version 4.0 does not include a driver for Microsoft Visual FoxProŽ. A new driver for Visual FoxPro is available from Microsoft.
Msrd2x32.dll provides backward compatibility for Microsoft Access 1.x and 2.0 files. No IISAM driver is needed for Microsoft Access 2.0, 7.0, and 8.0 because the IISAM driver for that data is part of the stand-alone Microsoft Jet engine.
The same IISAM files are used for the dBASE and FoxPro drivers, but the setup files are different. The FoxPro driver uses a generic dBASE engine that ensures compatibility with dBASE data sources.
