If you are importing from a free table then just choose the foxpro dbf as a type. If you are importing from VFP tables that belong to a database then you can tell the type to look for foxpro version 3.0 dbc (which works ok with version 6 stuff).

I dont know of a VFP program way to export to access. I would think that you would have to do some sort of VB on the other side that will take the VFP table to ACCESS. I would like to know myself so I will keep an eye on this thread if there is a VFP way of doing it. It would be great if VFP had an export to ACCESS command.
