FoxPro, Access, and ODBC linking question

My operating system is WinXP Pro. I have 1 gig of memory and the chip
is an Intel Pentium 4.

I am using Access97. A table has been supplied to me from an external
source createdc from Visual FoxPro file, version 6.0.

If I connect to it using File/GetExternalData/Link and select FoxPro as
the file type and it links OK. I press Open and the table opens just
like an Access table...quickly . There are 557 records. The problem is
that I can't change the data in the table. The status bar displays the
message "Recordset not updateable."

So I tried ODBC. I selected the FoxPro driver, set Fetch Data In
Background off (doesn't matter if it's on) and it links OK but is
S-L-O-W!!!! I mean, 2 minutes to open up 557 records. Takes at least 2
minutes to get to the last record. Takes nearly a minute to close the
datasheet window once it has been displayed.

The driver I am using is located in the System32 directory and is called
VFPODBC.DLL. The version number is 6.1.8629.1 The file data is
12/7/1999 at 4am and the size is 955kb.

Am I missing something with this DLL? Does it have to be registered (it
appears once in Regedit with the status bar displaying
MyComputer\Hkey _users\"string" \Software\ODBC\ ODBCINI\VisualF oxTables)
Does this sound right? If you personally link to VisualFox files, is
the ODBC version correct?

Is it possible that having 1 gig of memorty overwhelms Visual FoxPro?

I had Office 2000 on my computer but I removed it. That did not solve
the problem.

Any suggestions? If you require more info, let me know.

I have a customer that is using Access to create reports from FoxPro tables. We started noticing problems with the indexes on the FoxPro tables. It is to the point where we have to delete and rebuild the indexes on a nightly basis. We cannot determine if Access is the culprit and I have not been able to look at the Access reports and determine how he is linking to the tables. I realize this is not much to go on, but does anyone see any...

OS = WinXP & Win98. Access = A97 & AXP Q1) Where can I find the VFP ODBC driver at Microsoft. I have been working developing an app in Access that will link to some DOS FoxPro tables. I have been doing my development work in A97 but the folks have AXP at their site. As near as I can tell, the FoxPro driver has been discarded from A97 and replaced with ODBC in A2K onward
