Firstly, you should go to ODBC (in Control Panel) and create ODBC-source for your Access database. Then you go to your VFP project, create 'New Connection' (in Data page) and select for this connection (in connection designer) the ODBC source that you just created. After this, you may either create Remote View, based on this connection or use it for pass-through SQL (SQLConnect, etc.).
