Installable ISAM Driver Files

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.
