Run-time error connecting to FoxPro DBF

Here's the situation.

I have created a little app that uses RDO to connect to a FoxPro DBF database. The program and the database are housed on a server, which users connect to (these users do not have Visual FoxPro installed on their systems). I had to update their VFPODBC.dll file to allow them to be able to read the DBF, which they can do now.

However, the program allows for updating and adding of new records. Whenever I try to update on one of their computers, I get this run-time error:

---
Run-time error '40002';

S1000: [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]Cannot update the cursor.
---

I do not get this error while running the program from my machine (which, of course, has Visual FoxPro installed). I've looked around online and have been unable to find an answer to this. Any ideas? Thanks!
 
I know absolutely nothing about FoxPro, but...

Do they have the appropriate permissions to the folder that the foxpro database is stored?
