Hi RAJESH GUPTA To connect your Visual FoxPro (VFP) form to a web server database using ODBC follow these steps: Install ODBC Driver : Ensure you have the appropriate ODBC driver installed for your database type (e.g. MySQL SQL Server). Create ODBC Data Source : Open the ODBC Data Source Administrator on your machine. Click on the System DSN tab and then Add. Select your database driver and configure the connection settings including the server address database name user credentials and any other required parameters. Connect from VFP : Use the following SQL command in your VFP form to establish the connection: LOCAL lnConnHandle lnConnHandle = SQLCONNECT(YourDSNName username password) IF lnConnHandle > 0 * Connection successful =SQLDISCONNECT(lnConnHandle) ELSE * Handle connection error MESSAGEBOX(Connection failed.) ENDIF Perform Database Operations : Once connected you can execute SQL commands to insert update or retrieve data from the web server database. By following these steps you can successfully connect your VFP form to a web server database allowing multiple users to access and manipulate data efficiently.
