Hi ,
My program is working fine at my office.
Details are:

Windows 2000 professional
VB6 - enterprise
VFP Database
....................................................................
Project referrence: ADO 2.8 Library
....................................................................
Connection string -
"Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;Data Source=D:\laundry;Collating
Sequence=MACHINE"
....................................................................

But at client's site, It gives problem. I got following error at line
having above conn. string specs.

Error descr. - provider not found / not properly installed

Instead of executing application file(installed using setup prog.),
if run source code through vb6, it says missing ADO 2.8 library.

Client's machine is having exactly same software configuration. what
could be the problem?


Have the clients download and install the FoxPro Provider
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro 9.0
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E1A87D8F-2D58-491F-A0FA-95A3289C5FD4

and the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6c050fe3-c795-4b7d-b037-185d0506396c

and while there, might as well grab the Jet stuff as well
Jet 4.0 Service Pack 8 (SP8) for Windows 2000 (KB829558)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1e268b39-533e-48b0-b8d7-1781befde1f8
