>Since VFP 10 can run in 64bit -- is there a way to connect to a VFP 10 DBC with a 64bit ODBC driver? Is that something that is part of the whole thing?

Advantage has a 64bit ODBC driver. If you use .dbc, you must read docs if you need to create one of their dbc-similar tables. If you only need tables (should be enough for import, if no long field names are used) it should work out of the box for newer data types added in vfp.
