The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Visual FoxPro, Cold Fusion, and ODBC

Asked by ericpete in FoxPro Database

Tags: foxpro, table, driver, visual

NT4 servers with SP5 loaded.

We have a quoting application written in VFP, and it has a web component which is written in Cold Fusion. It works like a charm, even across servers.

We have several other applications which use the VFP tables as a source for data, written in Access2000, and in SQL. Therein lies the problem.

On the machine with the quoting application, there exists a DSN for the data; the machine with the Cold Fusion web app can see that data and retrieve all of the information correctly.

However, none of our other servers can "see" the DSN for the quoting database. When we create a new DSN using the Foxpro drivers (duplicating the configuration of the one on the quoting server), we can see most of the tables, but NOT the one table we really need -- the one with the actual quotations.

I've asked the quoting software vendor what they've done in their recent upgrades to make it so that what was once visible is no longer visible, and the best anyone's been able to tell me is that they've changed the structure of some of the tables. That sounds pretty nonsensical, if only because I can see most of the tables, but not the one I need.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
