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!

Using Foxpro Free Table Via ODBC Over Network Does Not Work, But Does Locally

Asked by movemedia in FoxPro Database

Tags: odbc, foxpro, s0002

Hi, here's my situatation:

I have a file called "zipcounts.dbf" that is on another server on our network.  I mapped the directory that that file (and other free tables) are in to "U".  in windows Xp, when i open the "U" drive, and double click on the file it opens up just fine.  

So i create a System DSN in ODBC using the FoxPro driver, I select "free tables directory" and I give it a directory of "U".  I try to access this ODBC via my php application and i get:  

SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]File 'zipcount.dbf' does not exist., SQL state S0002 in SQLExecDirect

My query is:

SELECT DISTINCT state FROM ZIPCOUNT ORDER BY state ASC

So, to test things, i copy the file zipcount.dbf in my "U" over to my "C" drive and update the System DSN.  I try runing the php application again and everything works just fine.

any ideas?

Oh yeah, and here's what isn't an option for me:  I need to use FoxPro, although i would personally use mysql for this, but i am supporting a legacy application so i cannot switch.  And i would really like to keep this file over on the other server if possible.  

Thank you in advance!  =)

-Chris
