>How can I use my fox pro database files in VB.Net? Your assistance would be greatly appreicated.

There is a VFPOleDb data provider for that purpose. As long as this is not a Web application, you would be ok. But, you should not use that driver over a Web application as you will get unpredicted results. See previous threads on the topic. If that would be the case, you might want to wait until you move to another backend or use another tier to process the data layer, independent from the Web engine.
