>Can I use Visual Basic.net with FoxPro free tables using ODBC?

Yes, although the VFP ODBC driver only supports up to VFP6. It doesn't support any field types introduced in later versions.

The VFP OLEDB driver supports all versions of VFP, but OLEDB is deprecated. Also, Michel Fournier, the owner of this site, found problems with that driver under heavy load, which aren't going to be fixed.

>If so, can the connection be multi-user?

Yes.
