WeвЂ™ll link the FoxPro db to the 32 bit version which will allow us to write Sql queries against the FoxPro db. So how are we going to get data out of FoxPro? The basic flow is going to look like this:ДЇoxPro Db -> Linked Server -> 32 bit Sql Server Instance -> Composable -> 64 bit Sql Server As of this article, Sql Server 2016 has no support for 32 bit, so you need to download an earlier version.

So what can you do? Install a 32 bit version of Sql Server. So if youвЂ™re running a 64 bit version of SQL Server, then you wonвЂ™t be able to do it. So what if you want to import data into SQL Server using the Data Import Wizard, or add the FoxPro database as a linked server? Well, one issue you might run into is that the FoxPro OLEDB drivers are only 32 bit вЂ“ sorry no 64 bit versions. The latest drivers can be downloaded here: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro 9.0 SP2ДЄnd for any of the latest Microsoft downloads for FoxPro, go to: So if you want to query a FoxPro database, youвЂ™ll need to use the OLE DB drivers. There is no longer an ODBC drive for FoxPro. The problem now is that Microsoft has stopped developed of FoxPro for the last 10-15 years, and the supporting tools have been slowly decaying. It is more complex and powerful than Microsoft Access, but requires less code to write than a VB.net application.

You can think of FoxPro as a technology in between Access and VB. What is FoxPro you ask? Fox Software was a company Microsoft purchased back in the early 90s, and they developed a system which accelerated the development of business / database applications. We recently had a client who needed to query data from a legacy system built on FoxPro.
