How to Create a 32-bit ODBC Source in Windows 7/8/10 (Updated 2nd Jan 2017)

The VFP ODBC driver was included in MDAC 2.5 and earlier and preinstalled on Windows 2000 and earlier. In order to use it on Windows XP and later Windows versions, it has to be installed first. The Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver 6.01.8629.01 is available for download at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vfoxpro/bb190233.aspx.

The VFP ODBC Driver can be installed under 64-bit Windows but 64-bit applications cannot access VFP ODBC driver because it comes only in 32-bit version. For 32-bit applications under 64-bit Windows there's ODBC Data Source Administrator for the 32-bit ODBC drivers %systemdrive%\Windows\SysWoW64\odbcad32.exe (usually C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe).

Important to remember that 64bits applications need to access 64 bits ODBC drivers.

Welcome to Delphi... Delphi... Delphi

I have been a Delphi Developer since Delphi 3 when I finally decided on Delphi in 1996 as my programming language of choice for the Windows 32 environment. So what have I created with Delphi ?

Would you believe that I had single-handedly created a full ERP2 system comprising ERP+CRM where ERP=Sales Distribution+MRP+ Procurement Management+Planning & Production +Finacial Management + Human Resources Management System.
