Use remote views.

create a fox database (create data mydata)
create a connection to the access database (create connection myconn)
use sqltables() command to get a list of all the access tables
(two steps, x=sqlconn(myconn), =sqltables(x))
then write a program to loop thru the tables and create the views
(like this:
scan
mtable = table_name
create sql view &mtable remote connection myconn as select * from &mtable
endscan

You may have to play around with update properties and stuff using dbsetprop, dbgetprop, and so forth.

Good luck!
