Dec 20, 2013 Windows 7 Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver. To use it on a 64 bit windows system, you need to run the 32 bit version of ODBC: C:WindowsSysWOW64odbcad32.exe update 2016-07-20 or you could download it from here. I’ve tested and it seems to install fine in Windows 10, but I haven’t tested if it works as I don’t use FoxPro any more. Download the file and run the installation. Follow the instructions during the installation.
I am attempting to add the Visual FoxPro ODBC driver to my list of active data sources, but am unable to do so.
I have installed the latest driver downloaded directly from microsoft, and I have found the driver .dll file in windows explorer. However, when I attempt to add the data connection via ODBC Data Sources (32-bit), the driver does not come up in the available list.
I checked the list in ODBC Data Sources (64-bit), just to make sure it was not listed there. I am aware that the FoxPro ODBC driver is 32-bit only.
What next steps should I take in troubleshooting this issue? I've been googling for over two hours now, with no new developments. Thanks.

-->Microsoft Visual FoxPro is a powerful object-oriented environment for database construction and application development. The Microsoft Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver enables applications to open, query, and update data in Visual FoxPro and earlier versions of FoxPro through the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface.
For example, with the Microsoft Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver you can do the following:
- Use Microsoft Query to query and update Visual FoxPro data from Microsoft Excel worksheets.
- Create mail-merge letters using Visual FoxPro data with Microsoft Word.
- Query and update Visual FoxPro views and tables from Microsoft Access.
- Use Visual FoxPro as the data store for Microsoft Visual Basic, Microsoft Visual C++, and C applications.
You can use the driver to accomplish many other tasks. The following table lists a few topics to help you get started.
