Cannot Open File Accessing Visual FoxPro Database (164145)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Information Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q164145 We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site: SYMPTOMS
When you perform an Internet Database Connector (IDC) query from an IIS
2.0 server to a Microsoft Visual FoxPro database on a different server,
you may get the following error message on the client browser:
Error Performing Query
[State=S1000][Error=171][Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]Cannot
open file {filename}.DBF
If the FoxPro database is on the same computer as the IIS server, the
query returns data properly.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, perform the following steps:
- In Control Panel, click the ODBC icon.
- Select the System DSN option; then select the Visual FoxPro DSN
used by the IDC file. Click the Setup or the Configure button.
- Select the Options button, and clear the Fetch Data in Background
check box.
- Select OK. Then select Close to apply these changes.
The query should work correctly.
MORE INFORMATION
In looking at a trace from the problem, a different User ID is used to
Open the .DBC file and other files. However, when the .DBF file is
accessed a blank or different user name is sent from the IIS server to
the Microsoft Windows NT Server where the database is located. However,
if Fetch Data in Background is not selected, the same User ID is used
to access all files in the database.
