Hey Craig.

>I have a new client that has expressed interest in integrating with AccPac. Basically, orders from stores will be entered into a VFP application, then data sent to AccPac for Invoicing and creating purchase orders to the suppliers. Any information on what it takes to do this?

It's pretty simple. ACCPAC has a great import facility, and the contents of import files are documented in the user manuals. If you need to read from the ACCPAC tables, they use either Pervasive (the new name for Btrieve) or SQL Server (depending on which version they have). In both cases, ODBC and OLE DB drivers are available (you have to buy the OLE DB driver for Pervasive, but the ODBC driver is installed when ACCPAC is installed), so reading the data from VFP is a piece of cake.
