Issue relating to importing dbf files to SQL 2005
Hello Experts,
I am trying to import Fox Pro (dbf files) into a SQL table.
Heres my problem:
I have done this many times on my local system using import - export wizard, by selecting ODBC source for foxpro. Now, when I am trying to do it on my new system, I do not see the 'ODBC Source for Foxpro' listed. The new system had SQL 2005 installed with service pack 1 and service pack 2. (just like my old one). Whats more, I also have run the VFPODBC driver - Rebooted the system, but I still do not find the Foxpro source.
I will really be greatful to anyone who is willing to help.
Thanks.

I checked the link, but it relates to fox pro linked server to SQL issues. I issue is not related to linked servers.
I am trying to import a foxpro table into SQL uaing SQL2005 import / export wizard. As stated in my previous post, i have done this before using the source component 'Microsoft OLE DB provider for Visual Fox Pro'. Now, in my new system, when I try to do the same (i.e. importing a foxpro table into SQL), I just dont see to find the component ! Albeit installing SP1, SP2 and VFPODBC Diver !!
