Microsoft Visual FoxPro is a powerful object-oriented environment for database construction and application development. The Microsoft Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver enables applications to open, query, and update data in Visual FoxPro and earlier versions of FoxPro through the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface.
For example, with the Microsoft Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver you can do the following:

I just upgraded from windows 7 64 to Windows 10 64. Now I am having problems with the Visual FoxPro driver. I am using the 32-bit ODBC manager (C:WindowsSysWOW64odbcad32.exe). When I try to add or edit a Visual fox pro source I get the following error:
I checked for C:Windowssystem32vfpodbc.dll and it does exist. Why am I getting this error and how do I correct it?

To check :
- Verify the registry at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREODBCODBCINST.INI, subkey of yourdriver, if the listed files do exist.
For a 32-bit program the folderC:WindowsSystem32is inaccessible and is automatically substituted toC:WindowsSysWOW64.So a path to System32 should be replaced with SysWOW64. - You should have installed the FoxPro 9.0 Service Pack 2.0and the Hotfixes (actually only the third one in the list)
- You may need to download and install the MSXML 4.0 Core package
The problem could also be an incompatibility with Internet Explorer 11 or Spartan.
Have you been using IE11 when you were still on Windows 7?

If no solution is found, there is always the option of downgrading back to Windows 7.
In case everything else fails, like it just happened to me today, try installing VFP 9 Service Pack 2 Runtime, available at http://www.foxpert.com/download/runtime.html and https://github.com/VFPX/VFPRuntimeInstallers
The reasoning is that this installer includes both VFPOLEB and VFPODBC drivers, and it successfully installed on a Windows 7 machine where all the other standalone installers failed.
Older VFPODBC.MSI is available at http://web.sisgarbe.pt/sispub/download/obter.php?produto=VFPODBC
