FoxPro 2.x tables can be opened as read/write under DAO. Following the same
procedure for Visual FoxPro tables will open the tables as read only. ISAM
drivers are being used under DAO. The following method will open free
tables and tables that are part of a Visual FoxPro database as read/write
with RDO. In addition to providing read/write access to these files, the
ODBC driver also provides greater performance than the Installable ISAM
driver.
If data validity checks are not made, Visual FoxPro database integrity
could be violated for tables that are part of a database.
