Thanks Ted.
From a couple of posts I have found they recommend setting up a 32 bit server, linking this to the VFP tables as a linked server then linking from the 64 bit server back to the 32 bit linked VFP server.... Definitely not a job to do on a Friday, it can wait until I feel somewhat fresher and up for a challenge on Monday!!
Life is never easy!

I am beginning to wonder if the 64bit SQL Server doesn't want to play nicely with the VFP OLEDB 32 bit drivers but can't prove it.
This sounds suspicious.
I've run into issues before with 64-bitness not interoperating with 32-bit VFP. I'd dig around the documentation to see if this is supported.
Any ideas before you go home?
Sorry, I'm already home.
