ODBC Trace may fail after you install the Traditional Chinese (TC) version of
Visual FoxPro version 5.0x under the Traditional Chinese version of Windows 95

is installed, copy the Odbctrac.dll file to the Windows system folder
C:\Windows\System.

beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
