You could directly use it :) To add to a database "add table ...". Add table automatically adds 263 bytes backlink info to header. Details of header are on online help (search for dbf structure). Also just creating a view like :
create sql view VFPCOPY as ;
select * from mytable provides the same data be used with VFP and FP apps while VFP version gains the transaction capability.
