My C++ programs could access the list of data sources created by that administrator to allow the user to select the database that would receive the results. I have not been able to find a similar tool to create a list of available data sources that can be used by OLEDB.

In Excel, the user can select Data...Import External Data, and it brings up a dialog box that gives access to defined data sources. Is this facility available to my C++ programs? Or something like it? I would like to use it to allow my user the option of selecting my VFP database to receive the calculated results.

Any vfp tables is your datasource IMHO. If you want them to be kept in somewhere then you could use a plain text file to store paths. Or if want something like ODBC administrator then you could create .udl files.
