A couple questions re oledb:

I have an application that uses FoxPro tables in a simple shared folder on a file server. In order to improve security, I'm considering putting the data on a Windows Server 2003 machine and accessing it via OleDB (as a simpler alternative to moving the data to SQL Server).

(The workstations are not in a domain.)


1. Will this do what I want, i.e., considerably improve security over the current file server system?


2. Believe it or not, I've never used OleDB. ODBC yes, but not OleDB. Can someone point me to a tutorial?





Hi Paul,

It'll do nothing to improve security. Anyway all the processing will be done on workstation and it'll have to have access to shared data.
