An example how to connect to Access DB and get data from one of its tables:
lcOBDCh = SQLSTRINGCONNECT([Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=FULL PATH TO ACCESS DATABASE HERE;Uid=USERNAME;Pwd=PASSWORD;])
IF lcOBDCh < 1
   AERROR(laError)
   MessageBox([Cannot connect to AccessDB ]+laError[1,2])
   RETURN .f.
ENDIF
IF SQLEXEC(lcOBDCh, [SELECT * FROM MyAccessTable],[VFPCursor]) < 1
   AERROR(laError)
   MessageBox([Cannot get data from MyAccessTable ]+laError[1,2])
   SQLDISCONNECT(lcOBDCh)
   RETURN .f.
ENDIF
SELECT VFPCursor
