I definitely fixed some problems when using Foxpro in DBD::ODBC in the later/latest versions. However, I do not believe that ActiveState has caught up with me yet. Use search.cpan.org searching for DBD::ODBC to check the changes information and compare that with the version you are running now. I *know* there's a line about finally fixing Foxpro stuff...
I suggest getting the latest and the *latest* binary is on: ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI Get *both* DBI and DBD::ODBC if you use my binaries. They are a pair. Better yet, if you have a compiler, build the latest yourself which is version 0.45_15.
