Is it possible to import existing reports designed in Microsoft reportviewer (rdlc file) into a foxpro database?
I already have a web based application for generating reports from a SQL Server DB but need the same reports in a foxpro DB. Is this possible? I have read that you can import crystal reports but i have seen nothing on microsoft reportviewer.
Thank you

I have a Visual FoxPro set of tables (.dbf extension) which I want to create linked tables to in MS Access. The forums I have checked seem to indicate that the vfpodbc.dll is no longer supported. I have installed the new OLE driver, but it does not appear as an option in the Linked table manager for selection. I can access this driver from Excel 2016.
Question:
Am I limited to using the programatic link method via VBA or is there a way to get this to work using the Linked table manager?
My OS is Windows 10.
Visual FoxPro Software is "INFUSION version 8.414"
Using the FoxPro OLEDB driver, you will have to connect programmatically. There's no way to link tables the way you can from an ODBC data source.
Microsoft Dropped it's support since MS Jet 2.6, but you can try to use Advantage Database Server OBDC driver
Hey IO have an old access data base and I have reeated the New data base using SQL Server Management Studio but all the data is still in the Access data base and I was wondering how to link these two. I have been trying to create the linked tables in access using the ODBC tool but none of the table I want are appearing?
Was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I can do this?
Also I then have started to create the front end of the database using Visual Studio but cant get the fields to populate as the SQL database currently has no data linked to it
Instead of linking tables have you considered using SQL Server Express (you did not mention what the 'new database' is, assume Access?) and the data import wizard to port the data to SQL Server? You get all the tools by downloading 'SQL Server with tools' from Microsoft. And use SSMS for management functions, it is much easier than the Visual Studio interface.
Is there any possibility to make a report using MS ACCESS database files? I'm using Visual Studio 2013 however no reportviewer, just saw a source to download and have a toolbox for it however seems not working to make a new report since it lacks Report Wizard and Create a Report thus available only in paid.
Any alternatives to make simple but useful way of making a report?
I am trying to link my vb.net program to a MS.ACCESS database to display my database to the crystal report, but I cant find the server in the OLE DB Provider.
I'm using:
Windows 8,
Ms access 2013 and
Microsoft visual studio 2008.
See this link and many more like it. 64 bit access. The standard jet driver is not available on 64 bit systems. But, you can download one.
One of my clients has a Foxpro database (.DBF file). I need to convert it into a SQL Server 2008 database.
Does anyone have any idea how to do this? Kindly give me solution.
Thanks in advance....
Try the following steps:
1.Create ODBC Data Source to DBF file
2.Using SQL Server Import Data Wizard (right click to database in the SSMS)
3.Choose Data provider for ODBC as data source
4.Map and import your data
You can use the "Upsizing Wizard" from the Visual FoxPro program, it's located on Tools -> Wizards -> Upsizing Wizard.
If you try this keep on mind two things:
You need add the DBFs to a Database Container (it's a safe procedure: create a new Database and ADD the tables). BACKUP, those file can't be used as a "Free table" anymore. Again, talking about data is secure thing.
You may need this into a 32bit concern, AFAIK there is no 64 bits ODBC driver for DBFs o VFP Databases. And the Upsizing Wizard don't work for OLEDB.
See more about it in this KB article: HOWTO: How to Use the Upsizing (SQL) Wizard in Visual FoxPro
Edit:
I totally forgot the improved Upsizing Wizard in Visual FoxPro 9 SP2, it's way better: (VFP) Upsizing Simplified
