Hi viper53927
Does anyone have those VFP open? If so, close them. Are you running any
anti virus software? If so, disable it or prevent it from scanning VFP data
files as shown here:
321550 HOWTO: Optimize Visual FoxPro Applications While Using Norton
AntiVirus
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=321550
Try creating a new folder and copying the table files into that folder.
Can you see them with the ODBC driver now?
I hope this helps.
