Your better off using a DSN-Less connection string. Here is an example:

oconn.open([Provider=MSDASQL.1;Connect Timeout=15;Extended Properties="DRIVER=Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver (*.dbf);UID=;PWD=;SourceDB=D:\sample.dbc;SourceType=DBC;Exclusive=No;BackgroundFetch=Yes;Collate=Machine;";Locale Identifier=1033])
