And, what you still haven't comprehended, is that ODBC has two
completely distinct and separate parts -- clients and servers.
The only thing that these two parts have in common is that
clients use the ODBC protocol to talk to servers to get them
to do things for them, exactly like a web browser (aka "http
client") and a web server (aka "http server") have nothing in
common except for the http protocol they use to communicate.

fileProODBC is an ODBC client.  There is currently no filePro
ODBC server available from fPTech.  (And note that, unlike some
claims to the contrary, the client has read/write capability.)
