Try installing the VFP DDEX provider: http://vfpx.codeplex.com/releases/view/10228

>How does one use the .NET dialog for a new connection to create a connection to a VFP database? I can do this manually but I am frustrated that the handy dialog doesn't seem to work. This is what I have:
>
>DataSource: .NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB
>OLE DB Provider: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro
>Server or Filename: StandardSpecifications (This is the name of my database.)
>
>
>From there I don't know what to do. The database is located in the AppData folder of the project.
>Any pointers here would be appreciated. (Or is the NET thing just broken?)
>
>Thanks
