Applet connects to Visual FoxPro table

Dear All,
I have difficulties to connect my applet to a free table creatd with MS Visual FoxPro. I tried to use a third party driver, no success. Now I try to use jdbc:odbc to talk to it. I would like to read/write/update the table from the applet. Anybody has experience with such a case? jdbc:odbc supports? foxpro connections? or do I have to use other drivers?
Thanks alot

Hi,
Thanks, but I think I have another problem, or I just got lost. I try to fix this since 2 days, I wanna ship the stuff, no luck. I did signed the applet, imported the certificate, become trusted (I imported my self_signed cert - Am I able to access files on the system, or I need a proper cert?) then applet start, and here is the message --Error occured during connection access denied (java.io.FilePermission d:\own\javaprojects read)
Error occured during resultset creation null
I got lost, no more ideas, really, if you have some hints would be great to hear them
Have a great weekend

Crytsal Reports 11 cannot connect to Visual Foxpro Database table

I hope someone can help me here. I have read through the other posts here, but can't seem to fiind the answer I need.
We use Crystal Reports to pull information from our Sage databases to create and distribute reports. Currently this is working fine on the original server. However, we decided to move the installation of Crystal Reports from one server to another.
In setting up the new server, I keep getting the message "The database table (table name) cannot be found. Proceed to remove this table from the report?" It displays this message for all the different tables in which data is trying to be accessed. Once I click No to all of these notifications, the correct info is poplulated in the report just fine. I need to get this corrected. It does not do this on the original installation.
Also if I open Database Expert and single click too expand the "Current Connections" folder, I get a message that pops up saying "Database Connector Error: 'HY010:[Microsoft][ODBC Visual Foxpro Driver] Function sequence error'". When I click OK to that, I get another similar error that reads "Database Connector Error: 'IM001:[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver does not support this function'"
Please let me know of any ideas that you may have as to what may be causing this issue. I have tried reinstalling the ODBC drivers, Runtime files, and Crystal. I appreciate any help.

I tried what you mentioned but it did not work. I believe it has to do with a "SQLNumResultCols" in SQL. The reason I say this is because I did a trace on both the server that is working and the server that is not and this is the first key that displayed an error in the SQL.LOG file. Here is this section of the SQL.LOG file for the server that isnt working...
dde             2e94-28b0     EXIT SQLNumResultCols with return code -1 (SQL_ERROR)
          HSTMT               03442998
          SWORD *             0x0012F3F4
          DIAG [HY010] [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]Function sequence error (0)
And here is this section of the SQL.LOG file for the server that is working...
dde             eb8-c94     EXIT SQLNumResultCols with return code 0 (SQL_SUCCESS)
          HSTMT               03542508
          SWORD *             0x0012F3F4 (5)
I believe if I can figure out what is causing this, I will be able to resolve this issue, but I am not a programmer and I am having a very hard time with this. Any help is appreciated.

Crystal XI Reports and Visual Foxpro Tables

Post Author: Pamela Vincent
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I have installed XI and tried to add an ODBC connection for a database package written in Visual Foxpro 9.0
In online help there appears to be a Foxpro option in the connection info diagrams, but I don't get all of the choices when working through the process myself.
I had no problems connecting and using Crystal 8.5 previously so I'm at a loss as to why I can't get it to work.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Not just the runtime - where would you get it without breaking licensing? You have to have a valid copy of CR 2008 and install it. No worries about unistalling CR 10.5 - .NET 2008 will automatically use the latest files.
Re. Oracle support. That is correct. The crdb_oracle.dll does not ship with any versions of CR that bundle with .NET. You could go ODBC or OLE DB though.
Not sure what you mean;
Can the CRRuntime_12.x be bundle to VS 2008 just like the Basic version does?
But as I mentioned above, you must obtain a copy of CR 2008. A 30 day eval is available from here;
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
To obtain a non eval copy, call sales; 866-681-3435

Connecting Visual Foxpro Tables and CR2008..

Hi..
I have a VFP ver 9 applicaiton that has multiple users. I set up a path using the following statements
CrRptpath = sys(2003) whcih give me the following ..
c:\docume1\jpower(user's Login ID)/locals1\temp -this directory contains the tables for the CR2008 reports
I was wondering how to setup the database location within CR2008 so that any user who logs into the application
will be pointing to there folder, not jpower, as it does now...
any help greatly appreciated...

Hello,
What component are you using in VFP? If it's RDC ( craxdrt.dll ) then it is no longer shipped as of CR 2008. In that case you'll have to manually open each report and set location for each user.
Thank you
Don

Windows 8.1 - Office 2013 - Visual FoxPro - excel data connection problems

Hi i have an excel document with existing data links to a foxpro database. these links worked on windows 8 with office 2013 but since getting windows 8.1 the links no longer work.
After much searching i have found i need to installed VFPOLEDBSetup.msi
This does not fix the issue. The ODBC Data sources located Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools still have no reference to FoxPro and within excel if i select from other sources and the other/advanced i can see the Microsoft OLE DB
provider for visual fox pro but it crashes excel.
in Windows 8 ODBC Data sources located Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools i have listed two items Visual FoxPro Database and Visual FoxPro Tables but both these are missing in Windows 8.1.
What do i need to do to correct other than not to use Windows 8.1
Many Thanks

Hello,
Thank you for your question.
I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue.

Java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]Syntax error

Hi all,
I am able to INSERT and SELECT records from FoxPRo database successfully.
The driver is Sun JDBC-ODBC bridge
The DELETE statement throws no exception.
I've tried to execute PACK after the DELETE call and got following exception:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]File must be opened exclusively.So I tried USE MYTABLE EXCLUSIVE in a Statement before calling PACK and got the exception:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]Syntax error or access violationI've also tried inserting the USE MYTABLE EXCLUSIVE before calling DELETE but got the same exception above.
The ODBC DSN for MYTABLE is setup as:
- Free Tables (not database)
- Null (checked)
- Deleted (checked)
- Fetch data in background (checked)
I am not able to issue any of the following commands to FoxPro using java
OPEN - To open a table
CLOSE - To close a table
USE - To open a table for uer either in exclusive mode or shared mode
The exception being generated is :
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]Syntax error or access violationThe help file of the Microsoft Visual Foxpro Driver states that the driver has support for the above commands.I a not able to get the way to issue the above commands to the driver using java.
In setting up the ODBC DSN I saw no "read only" setting.
In the Visual Foxpro table, I saw no READ ONLY settings.And also, there are no delete permission grants and there is no user database sesssion concept.
I've tried all of the above with DSN mapped to a database(NOT free tables) and setting AUTO-COMMIT OFF and AUTO-COMMIT ON.But in vain. The same exceptions as those stated above persisted.
Environment:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
JDK version "1.4.2_09"
Microsoft Visual Foxpro 06.00.8167
Microsoft Visual Foxpro Driver 6.01.8629.01
Don't know what else to try.
Can anybody please help me.
Thanks in advance
Archana

The ODBC DSN for MYTABLE is setup as:

- Deleted (checked)If you're using Visual Foxpro database(.DBC), you should see "Exclusive" option too. You can try check it, but I don't know whether your issue will disappear.

do the following steps for hetrogenous service
Step 1
Create ODBC named Access1.
Step 2
Go to urs inithsodbc.ora file which reside at
ORACLE_HOME\hs\admin\inithsodbc.ora
and overrite by
# This is a sample agent init file that contains the HS parameters that are
# needed for an ODBC Agent.
# HS init parameters
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = Access1
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = off
# Environment variables required for the non-Oracle system
#set <envvar>=<value>
Step 3
Add the following entry to the tnsnames.ora file:
ACCESS1.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=ACCESS1))
(HS=OK)
Step 4
Add the following entry into the listener.ora file:
(SID_DESC=
(SID_NAME=ACCESS1)
(ORACLE_HOME=D:\Oracle)
---Define urs oracle home path in mine case it is at D:\Oracle--
(PROGRAM=hsodbc)
Step 5
Reload the listener from contol panel services yours listener service
Step 6
Create a database link using:
CREATE DATABASE LINK access1.world CONNECT TO "MyUser" IDENTIFIED BY "MyPassword" USING 'ACCESS1.WORLD';
Step 7
Connect to scott/tiger
Query the table using:
SELECT *
FROM [email protected];
Step 8
Same you can connect to urs forms and write above sql in cursor

How to create linked server in sql 2005 to access free table visual foxpro 9 step by step

Hi All, I want to connect to dbf file visual foxpro by using linked server in sql 2005, but i can't do, i hope getting best anwser from every body in forum.
Thanks all.

Hi doanpq,
Please download and install OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro 9.0, which exposes OLE DB interfaces that you can use to access Visual FoxPro databases and tables from other programming languages and applications. Please see:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14839
Then, please follow up the following article to create a linked server:
Creating Linked Servers:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff772782(v=sql.105).aspx
For more information, you can also take a look at the following article, especially Dave K's comment:

Migration of Data from Visual Foxpro (.DBF) to Table in Oracle 8i (Win NT)

Hi Everyone,
I have data in Visual Foxpro (.dbf) which I would like to take into a table of Oracle 8i. I would like to know the easy but secure way of porting from dbf to oracle. I am able to convert to access, if needed.
Please help ! Thanks in anticipation
Beethoven

hello,
check http://otn.oracle.com/tech/migration/content.html
for further information on migrating different types of data to oracle. the easiest way would be to import your foxpro data into microsoft access and then migrate this access-database using the GUI tool you also find at the location mentioned above.

Visual Foxpro Connection

Hii there,
I'm going to connect a foxpro database using jdbc(DSN Connection).
My code is as follows.
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:<DSN name>");
but an exception is occuring:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]Cannot open file c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vfp98\filename.dbc
is there any problem with code??
plz help...

I don't know about that specific error message, but I want to warn you that the ODBC-JDBC bridge is an unstable and broken piece of code. You should try to use another approach, unless you absolutely need to use it.

.How to Change Path to dbf files Using Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver

Using vb.Net 2008, full Crystal 2008.
I have a Crystal report that uses a Visual FoxPro File DSN pointing at a folder with dbase (.dbf) files.
I need to be able to change the folder location at runtime. In the RDC, one key part of this has been specifying a connection string, such as:
"Driver={Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver};SourceType=DBF;SourceDB=" & gs_FileDSN_Path & ";Exclusive=No;Collate=Machine;Null=Yes;BackgroundFetch=No;"""""""
However, I can't find any .NET documentation confirming this syntax and, even more importantly, where does it go?
I tried 2 variations as:
                reportTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo.Attributes.Collection.Add(New NameValuePair2("Connection String", ls_ConnectionString))
                reportTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo.Attributes.Collection.Add(New NameValuePair2("ConnectionString", ls_ConnectionString))
Followed later by   TableN.ApplyLogOnInfo(reportTableLogonInfo)before calling
But I don't know if the correct attribute name is "Connection String", "ConnectionString", or something else.
I also tried to set the connection string to the QE_ServerDescriptions property, as in:
reportTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo.Attributes.Collection.Add(New NameValuePair2("QE_ServerDescription", ls_ConnectionString))
None of these variations nr many others seem to work.
BOTTOM LINE:
Could someone provide sample code for overriding the dbase files folder location specified by a Visual FoxPro FileDSN?
Thanks!

OK, I came to the conclusion that the tables or the report somehow hold on to the File DSN for dear life and I can't change that fact.
So I'm going to change my approach and instead of changing the connection properties of the tables, I'll modify the properties of the File DSN on the fly. Ugly, but an OK solution for my use scenario.
It would still be great to get a code sample for the original question but, it's no longer a burning issue for me.
It would be nice if the support team created a document describing in detail how to achieve database location changes using .NET for different scenarios. It's a common need and the RDC object model had such a document.

Can oracle PLSQL program communicate to VFP (Visual Foxpro) Database.

Hello All,
I am using dataabse 9i in windows 2003 - 32 bit server.
I have couple of application in forms and Visual Foxpro(VFP). The VFP program can commucate to the oracle database.
when I am inserting/updating/deleting some data to the oracle database it should insert/update/delete the record in VFP database.
For this I have created triggers in the oracle tables so that when DML oreration are happening in the database it can triggered and same time the VFP tables can be updated by the oracle triggers. But my problem is I am not able to connect to the VFP table from the Oracle.
Any body have any idea on it, Please suggest.
Thanks,
SUN

Oracle has a facility called Heterogeneous Services. It uses odbc or ole to communicate to third party databases.
You need a Foxpro ODBC driver, and you need to set up several Net related files.

UDConnect & Visual Foxpro 6

Hi, i am using UDConnect for get datas from ORACLE 10g, that working good, we need extract data from files .dbf version Visual Foxpro 6.
We use in Oracle this setting :
DriverName
Value = oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
URL
Value = jdbc:oracle:thin:@IP:1521:DBADMON
Setting Value for UserName and Password, so push in SAVE.
After that checking connection in :
http://IP:50000/TestJDBC_Web/TestJDBCPage.jsp
Any idea the parameters for get datas from files .DBF and use two UDConnection Sources ?
What happend when files stay in Shared Folder inside Domain and need user for get access, is posible send parameters the shared folder ?

Not found the solution.

JSP and Microsoft Visual FoxPro Database

Hi!
I am developing a website in JSP, this is placed on a linux server. I want to connect to the FoxPro databasefiles(*.dbf) on another server.
How can i do this?
I've tried this connectionstring, but it only works on my local machine that runs on Windows XP:
Connection c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver};UID=;PWD=;SourceDB=" + db + ";SourceType=DBF;Exclusive=No;BackgroundFetch=Yes;Collate=Machine;Null=Yes;Deleted=Yes;");
This connection string is not usable on the server where the JSP-page runs.
